    For anyone that doesnt know, humans have evolved a significant tolerance to alcohol because it does infact exist in nature in rotting fruit (you take what you can in 400000 bc) there are reports of moose losing it after only a few fermented Apples. And Elephant reportedly can get deliriously drunk off of a single beer.

      I had a dog that loved beer but he was a nasty drunk. He would knock beers over to lap them up, then start growling and barking for more. Then he’d puke, eat the puke, and pass out.

        Sounds like a roommate I had once. You’re sure he wasn’t just a short bearded man named Matthew?

        Probably because hops are toxic to dogs.

        I’ve seen this exact thing, a little terrier would wait for everyone to leave the room then he’d knock everyone’s beers over and get shirfaced. I don’t remember him being violent unless you tried to take the beer away

        I’ve been told by several people that being a non-drinker is a “huge red flag” if they see it in a dating profile.

          Because usually to state something like that it implies severe alcoholism.

          Most people who don’t drink just don’t drink

            “I don’t drink” usually implies severe alcoholism. Got it.

              When you feel the need to put it in a dating site bio, it does.

          I don’t think it’s a red flag but it could be a compatibility issue for some.

            Also, it might mean they’re in recovery, which can be a red flag for many

              Or they’re seen as boring because drinking culture is deeply ingrained in our societies.
