"little people" can outdrink regular sized people (like karen or me).

is this true? I mean, we've all seen verne troyer, but did he overdrink period or overdrink for a little person??

I seriously doubt it, but it's made me wonder if people can actually build up a "tolerance" - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:12 4
- volumetrically speaking I don't think that's possible. I agree with decline. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:16 1
  - This is what I've always assumed, just figured I would ask. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 07:22
- From my understanding this is not the case. Your BAC goes up the same, but a higher tolerance means you handle it better. - decline Dec 9, 07:15 1

I doubt that too. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 06:59

no it's not true Inuit are generally speaking small so are most asian people - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 06:41 1
- that has nothing to do with their body size. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:06
that makes no sense. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 9, 06:35
I call shenanigans. Their bodies don't metabolize alcohol any better than anyone else does. -- nm - decline Dec 9, 06:33 11
- this, plus you would think a beer would have more impact on them just due to size -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 06:35 10
  - hence the "pound for pound" thing. -- nm - amanda jones Dec 9, 06:37 9
    - but maybe part of alcohol breakdown in the body is done by things like the stomach, liver and their may work equal to a larger persons? - Elf Andie Dec 9, 06:39 7
      - except, those organs are smaller. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:00
      - see, this makes sense to me. (if mara were here, she'd google it up for us.) -- nm - amanda jones Dec 9, 06:42 5
        
        Sorry, I got busy with rockin' my latest stupid assignment at work. I hate programming. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 07:24
        
        I googled it up, and dwarves (as opposed to midgets) have the same organ size, so perhaps the pound for pound thing is correct? - Amy Dec 9, 07:12 2

        that would make sense. I am too scared to google any further. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:16
        
        I'm not mara, but I googled and came up with zero. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 07:09
    - me no read good -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 06:38
