    I'm pretty sure Sea Wolf Roegadyn can put the most away, they're basically Vikings. Lala's probably get drunk fast and often, but they just don't have the capacity. Miqo'tes take a long time to get drunk, but it's not because of the amount they drink. It just take's them a while to lap much up with their tongues.

    Based on actual facts about alcohol absorption, Roe men can drink the most. Granted like all things, there are exceptions to this rule. There may be Roe females who are exceptionally skilled at masking their level of inebriation. However, based off off body mass and fat %, I'd rank the ability to put down the drink as such:

    Roe Men
    Roe Women
    Highlander Men
    Highlander Women
    Elezen Men
    Elezen Women
    Miquo'te Men
    Miquo'te Women
    Hyur Men
    Hyru Women
    Lala Men
    Lala Women

    Sorry Lala, you may be the root of all evil, but when it comes to getting wasted, you're a cheap date.

    There are also factors that may contribute to one race seeming more drunk than another. For instance, if drinking in a basement bar, elezen may be at a disadvantage due to repeatedly walking into the support beams in the ceiling.

    Lala. Super fast metabolic rate (we have tiny legs and can still run the same speed as the bigguns, this is due to metabolism), combined with a body that constantly rejuvenates (still look young at 100!) means we can drink as much as we like, process it fast to stay sober, and as an added bonus suffer virtually no liver damage. And magic tummies too, as stated above.

    A faster metabolism would actually help you get drunk faster.

    Yes, all this talk of body size is assuming absorption rates and liver function are the same. Lalas probably have great liver function no matter what age. Roes probably stay drunk longer because there is more blood to clean. Elezen may have very slow metabolisms and not get drunk quickly, but when they do .. phew!

    Given the body size and weight of most Roe men and women... I'd say they would be able to drink more than the other races pretty handily. I mean, the lalafell's would probably get two drinks in and pass out, the McCatz and the Hyur would probably do ok, with the Elzen doing a bit better probably and the Roe being at the top.

    I mean, if we took 1 of each race who was a hardened drinker and had the same amount of experience drinking booze from a young age and maintaining a certain blood alcohol level I would say that the Roe would still win hands down... They're just so big!
