Try genetic alcohol tolerance in Google.  This comes up in the first page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_tolerance

"The tolerance to alcohol is not equally distributed throughout the
world's population, and genetics of alcohol dehydrogenase indicate
resistance has arisen independently in different cultures.[2] In North
America, Native Americans have the highest probability of developing
alcoholism compared to Europeans and Asians.[3][4][5][6]"

"Alcohol tolerance is almost entirely determined by your genes."

There are lots of articles on the topic, even
