Alcohol is basically poison and there's a lot of variation among humans globally as to how well our bodies metabolize it.
Example: the "Asian flush" is real, a large minority of people of East Asian descent have a less effective variant of a protein involved in metabolizing alcohol so drinks make affected people feel warm, uncomfortable, even flushed pretty quickly.
That particular allele is most common in SE Asia and South China but can be found in lower frequencies elsewhere. It also has impacts even when a person is heterozygous, i.e. just has one copy of the less effective protein gene.
But there are many ways to have variation in how a person metabolizes alcohol. You could even have your own fun new mutation!
im like the xmen with the ability to sweat after drinking beer and also deformities in my urinary tract that leave me prone to infection this is awesome
1 drink and im sweating like a pig
its always been this way i think its some kind of medical condition

You might have something like this as well.
my ancestors were white af. polish and hungarian. and hairy like a goddamn bear
its possible i have this gene but if its specific to asian people then idk how
