Why won’t your body allow you to do things like hold your breath too long, but you can ingest enough alcohol to poison yourself or overeat?
In: Biology
if alcohol was as immediately deathly as holding your breath and it was in our presence throughout a significant amount of our evolution then we would of evolved a natural defence against it, maybe a intense rash, a extremely unpleasant smell or asphyxia. As it is not a potent poison in small doses our body acclimated and in some cases benefits from it.
