It's really gutting news, mates. I have some blood condition (hemochromatosis) that I inherited from my Nordic ancestors (was a defensive mechanism they evolved into to survive famines in the dark ages, apparently) and it's 5 times harder on my liver to process alcohol than that of a normal person. Basically, every drink that I have is akin to 5 drinks for somebody else in regards to me liver.

WTF - I've lived my entire live thinking that I am pretty close to perfect and now I find out (out of the blue) that I'm practically some special needs patient who can't even enjoy a fricking beer.

Thank God for is all I can say. Always knew it was healthier for us anyhow, mates

Doesn't that mean you're a cheap drunk?

That actually doesn't sound all that bad. Have a glass of red wine every now and then

Good luck

Yeah I already do and will obviously increase by a ton. I do love getting wine drunk while smoking and then capping off the night with a couple of IPA's though. Feck.

Sorry to hear. Why cant you just drink 1 beer in a sitting if you really want to have one?

It's kind of ironic b/c I've started enjoying alcohol more now than ever. Finally got into beer after living in Milwaukee for 4 years. Love getting drunk slowly at brunch on bloody marias.

At any other time in my life it would have been less of a big deal. Good news is my building is full of some hard core stoners - the guy who lives 2 floors above me can keep me flush with some really nice CO and CA consolation prizes.

Alcohol sucks anyway. Congrats.

I hate when ppl ask me "why aren't you drinking?" And I reply with "I don't drink, hate alcohol" and they look at you confused.

Well that sucks. Hope you got to go out with a bang and enjoy some good beers when you came up to Boston.

Sorry to hear that man. The upside I guess you will be more "healthy" than us.

Sounds like you can still consume about 1/5 of the alcohol of a normal person.

Make it count!

Celiac?


One of the few real reasons to avoid gluten.

Luckily they make gluten free beer and booze now.

That's because you were drunk and didn't even know it!

Definitely more suiting than "perfect" for you.

It's funny how as soon as you can't have something, you become very fond of it. When my doc said my pancreas couldn't handle meth anymore, all I wanted to do was smoke meth.
