I'm pretty sure that this [leicestermercury.co.uk] explains why I can drink so much and not suffer any ill efefcts.

I can stop whenever I want. Really, I can.

This is what I've been predicting all along.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a bottle of Manichewitz that needs attending to.

I wonder if this is part of the same gene complex or sequence that indicates membership in the Cohnim (or however it's written)...

In Response to zamphir (#1830):

I don't think so. The gene sequence fo which you speak is found solely on the Y chromosome (since your tribe affiliation is passed down along the paternal line.) The article say that it was a study of Israeli Jews, not Jewish Israeli Males, so I think it's probably a different sequence. On a related note, all Levites, for that matter, also have similar Y chromosomes, becdause it is another trait that is passed down along the father's line. In theory all of these Y chromosomes are close to the Y chromosome of Abraham himself, but over thousands of years mutations tend to occur, which is why all of us levites don't nesecarily have identical Y chromosomes, or ALL of the cohenim, for that matter.
