It does come from birth though? Genetics play a huge part role in alcohol processing

Practice doesn't make you metabolize the alcohol much faster, it makes you better at functioning at a higher BAC, it increases tolerance not metabolism

I don't know how much faster it gets, but consuming alcohol increases the expression of alcohol dehydrogenase, so you metabolise it faster.

Yeah, obviously. Do you think your body is at maximum alcohol detox levels at all times? Of course not, that's one part of the detox pathway that fires up when you start drinking

How long do you think enzymes stick around? Do you think they pile up?

Their expression is generally linked to presence of a trigger and limited by their byproducts. So you'll produce more of them when exposed to alcohol, then max out based on how quickly the byproducts can be moved

Again, how quickly you process alcohol is mostly genetics
