>>13350687Native American populations, as well as many SE Asian populations, don't produce an appropriate amount of alcohol dehydrogenase, or aldehyde dehydrogenase. Both critical to alcohol metabolism (among other compounds).
Natives in particular produce next to none, so when alcohol comes into the picture, it wreaks havoc regardless of their "personalities", so -- far less of a social or will power based phenomena than you would think.
It stays in the system longer, and deposits toxic aldehyde byproducts into the brain over long periods of time. So you end up with absolutely devastating effects from a biological perspective, ranging from immediate effects (profound intoxication, compounding circulating levels due to poor clearance and metabolism) to long term/permanent damage (aforementioned aldehyde waste products among other incompletely metabolized compounds).
SE Asians also suffer from this phenomena as well, too varying extents. "Asian flush", etc.
>also,Most people don't really use the alcohol thing to make whites look bad ot my knowledge. They usually point it out as a peripheral consequence of biology.
But I have heard people blame whites for the current state of Indian reservations (debatable I suppose, but these aren't mythical creatures we're talking about. Drive to a res and ask/see them yourself), which could be interpreted as a condition that leads to more drinking. Reservations are generally pretty economically beat, and without access to the same federal tools as the surrounding states. I've traveled to every state (except AK and HI), as well as overseas (England, Holland, Mallorca) -- everywhere I went, the poor and down trodden would openly consume substances at higher rates.
In conclusion, we already know why Natives have such a poor relationship with alcohol on a cellular level. Most of what you're saying seems like masturbatory musings on things you could be exploring the actual history of.
