How Much Booze Can the Human Liver Really Handle?

Question by Guinness: How much booze can the human liver really handle?
I have to admit, I have been “using” “abusing?” alcohol for what seems to be ages, and have researched alcoholism on line, it seems to me that I should be dead by now. I want to know, seriously, have any of you been drinking for decades, and, if so, how do you feel? Besides drunk….

i really think it depends on your family. for example.. a lot of my chinese friends lack the enzye (Alcohol dehydrogenase) which allows one to break down alcohol. So they get read and drunk fast.

However in my family, people drink for several hours everyday. and they are okay, but we are irish. and it is literally in our blood to drink.

it depends on your race, your family, and what you have gotten your liver to live wit
