Our liver is there to break down the things that are either bad for us or we don't need, essentially both.. If we were not made for such things then how are we possible to have it?
Drinking alcohol regularly does not increase your tolerance per se, it actually dulls your senses and you get the same amount of poison - you merely feel it less than you did before.
The difference is that it's already destroyed, that's no tolerance, but some kind of "anesthesia", if you understand me.
Yeah, I guess I know what you mean. But it somehow results in the same thing. I'm not saying that alcohol won't be bad for you then, but it is a known fact that an alcoholic can drink a lot more than someone who does not drink at all before both feel drunk/fall into coma/die. But I think I said this before.

They can't. It's just that the alcohol broke down everything in their body so they don't feel it.
Also, you call it 'Toleration' when a dam breaks down and land gets flooded? Like 'land tolerates water' or shit?
@ Alistaire: Erm. No. Substances ending in -ol are alcohols. Not -anol.
Eth - anol
Meth = One
Eth = Two
Prop = Three
But = Four
Pent = Five
Hex = Six
Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol, Butanol, Pentanol and Hexanol are alcohols. Please don't start saying shit which you don't know about.
You are an idiot.
Ethane, methane, propane, butane, pentane etc. are alkanes. Alkenes are Ethene (IUPAC name, also called ethylene), buthene etc. There is no methene as it has only one carbon atom and alkenes need 2 carbon atoms. Alkynes are ethyne, butyne etc. Alcohols are ethanol, methanol, butanol etc.
The official rule is an -ol ending, not -anol.

This is pure stupidity, comparing alcohol to the caused effects, the land has nothing to do with anything until the dam breaks. What is the land suppose to be in this comparison, please tell me.

Yes it's a worse comparison than the one with the city.
The suffix -ol in non-systematic names (such as paracetamol or cholesterol) also typically indicates that the substance includes a hydroxyl functional group and, so, can be termed an alcohol.

Alkanoles -> C n H 2n+2 O
Stuff ending on -ol INCLUDES alkanoles, which are popularly called alcoholes.

The page said;
'Words ending on -ol, in non-chemistry related names (such as paracetamol *which is a drug* or cholesterol *which is a fat*) indicates that the thing includes a Water-Carbon-Oxide structure and so can be called an alcohol.'
This has nothing to do with what you said before, therefore you failed once again.
Alistaire, you should learn to stop. It is true that not everything that ends with -ol has alcohol in it (Paracetemol for ex.), but they mostly do, and it is also the correct term. If you still feel that we are wrong, please give me a link or anything that proves that -anol is correct and -ol is wrong. Yet I don't think you will find anything.

There is no link. My chemistry book says so and if you don't believe it I'm not gonna scan it.
Chemistry book has written
Alkanes, Alkynes and Alkanoles (Alcohols) are homologous hydrocarbons. (...)
Meth-, Eth-, Prop-, But-, Pent- and Hex- are prefixes for homologous hydrocarbons (...)
The homologous formula for Alkanoles is 'CnH2n+2O', in which 'n = Carbon atoms' (...)
Alkanoles are systematically named: First comes a homologous prefix, which is followed by -anol, the suffix for every Alkanol.
