Somalis and Alcohol.

[SaciidAyanleh]

^^Actually, I don't buy that. If you're talking about genetic intolerance to alcohol consumption that's really only true of Asians. I've got Chinese/Korean-American friends who get drunk and red in the face off two beers.

The study’s authors hypothesize that the alcohol intolerance associated with facial flushing may have evolved as a survival strategy enabling ancient populations to enjoy the positive effects of alcohol derived from fermented rice — it can be used as a disinfectant and preservative — while imbibing in moderation.

Drinking responsibly, so far, has nothing to do with genes. It is about socialized behaviors, learning right from wrong.

Well its not just East Asians but also Native Americans. Its likely Somalis have adapted considering we have ancestry from the places that do have alcohol tolerance. If this is the case, well then shame on those somalis.

Education is the solution. Sex, certain drugs, and alcohol aren't bad things, people will do them, so educate them.

The problem, like in all things, is that Somalis don't know the concept of 'moderation'. Some Jamaican dude told a friend of mine somalis don't smoke weed, they inhale it. They think Khamri is like softs drinks.

You just can't be around drunk Somalis.

The guys become violent and rowdy as hell. Girls are usually pretty sloppy.

[Khalid Ali]

Somalis should not drink at all i usually never agree with GAMER. but he is right on this Somalis cant act responsible when they drink inu diyaaro kicin karo bu isku haysto marka u kabado oo alaaabta kulul cunaha u dhadhiciyo taking on people and shit. Wax usaan ahayn bu is mooodayaa. Thats why Somalis consider every one who drinks casually is an Alcoholic So Somalis should never drink. Waligin khamri ha cabinina by the way its Xaraam its mentioned in Name in the Quran.

Khalid gacanyare is anti Khamri.

Yh you would know because waqoyis are alchohics.

[EvolSyawla]

I'm from the west. So I've seen my share of drunken clowns.

Not to mention how many of them are on FB, Insta and snapchat...world star and tiny chat!

[LilEmperor]

Fair enough

[Advo]

I think I am probably the only guy in my age group I know who never sipped even a drop of alcohol. I am not even religious like that. So many girls thought they could get me to drink and they all miserably failed. They are shocked I don't drink or even the fact I won't buy alcohol for them. Funny thing is, i have tons of gaalo friends that chose not to consume alcohol.

I believe I sowed my royal oats as a crazy kid and by the time i became an adult, the fire was burned out. Aduunyadu waxaa ugu xun a person who turns out at the age of 23+.

Somali girls and alcohol shouldnt mix crazy shit happens!

[abdikarim86]

this behavior is only normal in North America and Europe..

Agreed
It's not the norm in the UK, Australia etc.

Even the UK, the folks for whom it's normal
tend to be from Scandinavia iyo Holland.

Btw I don't consider the UK to be part of Europe

Cadaan folks consume alcohol to relax and unwind, while Somalis drink it to get pumped up and act up tough.

Most Somalis didn't grow up seeing alcohol in their fridge or storage room. They don't go to wine tasting retreats or collect 50yrs old scotch.

They consume immediately however many bottles they buy at the liquor store.

The drink alcohol the same way the chew khat.

It is rare to see a Somali who has a bar in his crib.
