That's the problem! I'm a relatively lean individual. And I never really built up the tolerance in college like most of my peers (too much time spent with engr homework and girls [lol] ).
Wait...wait...wait...I remember the engineering homework, but not the girls...where did you go? ASU? I personally know of many friends who switched from ENGR to business because they were getting too much of one, but not enough of the other.
I almost feel like I should invest some time in building a tolerance, but I hate to subject my body to that. On the other hand, being imparied while trying to do business isn't very helpful.
No, you want to stay lean and you want to avoid drinking. The only smart man I know who drinks a lot (or at least seems to drink a lot) is Aubrey de Grey (I suppose I get this impression because he has had many interviews in one particular bar -- the DNA bar, forgot what it is called)...I still don't know why he drinks. I think he knows of some anti-aging effects that the rest of us don't know about, but he's too smart to risk his scientific reputation on promoting beer.
