I am personally deficient in both the enzymes to digest milk (lactase) AND alcohol (acetaldehyde dehydrogenase) so I can't readily enjoy a bowl of cereal or Bowmore 15 (as recommended by another poster in this thread). I couldn't even put Whiskey in my corn flakes if I got laid off.

Valid points for sure, thanks for adding this.
Curious, what kind of reactions would you get by drinking alcohol?
