Alright London Friends: I also am looking for people to #ProseccoInterview. These are filmed interview about your research, teaching, work, life, health, advice, job hunting - anything to do with academic life, and one (or several) glasses of proses. Want to be involved? DM me!
A lot of drinking is down to 2 things if I understand correctly: some ppl's livers are "better" at dealing with alcohol's behavioural effects (and men typically are bigger than women, thus have bigger livers, which helps) & drinking often helps to make 1 used to the effects.

I neither come from a culture that drinks often (no culture in the Levant/Middle East drinks a lot) nor do I enjoy the fact its a migraine trigger nor (sadly?) do I particularly enjoy the culture around drinking. I do go out for drinks with my lab etc but most often drink water.
-
Also I generally avoid staying out late at conferences, only bad stuff seems to happen either to me or around me. It just attracts sadly the wrong kinds of behaviour.

I'm just confused when I see people who are more affected than me (so they had lots to drink for their size), stay out later and then go on to do important things the day after, and then repeat again
-
Yes and then they give a 9am keynote
-
Yeah exactly! And I probably wake up at 5am after 4 hours of sleep, without setting an alarm, because I'm worried about something I have to do later that day
-
Livers and genetics are related and I think it's definitely a big role in how certain types of people can be relatively high functioning and yet on the alcoholic side in terms of amounts of drinking.
