Heh, for some reason, I really wanted to call you Jane Berken. I have no idea why. I feel like Jane and Berken go together especially well, perhaps. I have never known a "Jane Berken" before, either.

"Jane Birkin" is a real live actress--maybe that's why the name seems familiar to you. She's English, but lives in France and acts in French-language movies. (And Hermes named a $5,000 handbag after her, which is so popular that there's a waiting list to buy one--or at least used to be, before the economy went into the tank.)

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Uh oh, pianola, you are gonna get a lawsuit from Hermes for copyright infringement... or, perhaps they will give you a free handbag for your advertisement?

EDIT: I just googled Jane Birkin... Apparently most of her photos are NSF SDN...😳

YES YES YES!! That's why I know the name!!! She was in a couple of Poirot murder mysteries! Thank you student1799!! 😀 You are awesome! I totally forgot where I knew that name from.

I love those movies. Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun. You should totally check them out.

Oh funky...they're nice movies, I promise :embarassed:
 
Sometimes I feel like the only teetotaler on earth!

Aw, you're not alone. Lots of my college friends didn't drink at all.

I'll have drinks on special occasions, I guess.

Eh, its not that bad. I never have to worry about what I did last night, and I am saving up my neurons, rather than destroying them so that I can use them for med school!😱

I actually research Hep C Virus and liver cancer, but I have read enough articles about alcoholic cirrhosis through research to know that it cannot be a good thing...

I wonder whether Irish people have more Alcohol dehydrogenase than other races?

I actually read about something like this in the book Survival of the Sickest. The author talks about why Asians have a lower tolerance for alcohol, the reason being that most Asians have a variant form of the gene for acetaldehyde dehydrogenase which is less effective, so they detoxify alcohol less efficiently.

This variant barely exists in Europeans. Apparently, early water purification in Europe was done using alcohol to kill microbes, while in Asia this was done by boiling. This created evolutionary pressure in Europe to be able to drink and detoxify alcohol more efficiently (or so the author says).

Pretty cool.
