Not sure you wanted to make this a thread about drinking. Ive known some people who drink from sunrise to sunset, and they can build a deck on your house straight as an arrow. Theres those people who play pool after drinking all night. They cant walk a straight line but they never miss a shot. Never understood that. Half the time I miss when Im sober. Other people Ive known worked in a metal fabricating shop, free tap beer all day, they never injure themselves or miss a weld. The other day I was in an upscale office. They had a full bar in the lobby. It appeared employees were allowed to take cocktail breaks at work.

I think its all in our physiology, genetic makeup, the ability to learn to pace oneself, and knowing limits, in a healthy way. Im not encouraging irresponsibility. These are just my observations.
