Is there a trope for someone who drinks a ridiculous amount, to a degree that would probably kill someone IRL, but never suffers any ill effects, is never shown experiencing withdrawal or cravings and either Never Gets Drunk or is very occasionally shown mildly drunk but only in a comedic way (slurring their words and singing, perhaps) that never has any negative consequences for them? They're not drowning their sorrows or struggling with anything, they just drink constantly and it's treated in a totally light-hearted way, either played as a joke or simply a totally casual character trait that maybe no-one even comments on? It's not uncommon in comedic characters, and is also sometimes used as a show of a character's manliness or because they're outright superhuman...

There is a typo in the caption of the video example on this page. The caption reads "The Nerd is famous for using Rollin' Rock to come with playing shitty games." and I presume it should read "..to cope with playing..." not "...to come with playing...". Since I can't figure out how to correct it, someone who knows how to fix it should do so. Thanks!

Seems not to be an example: refers to the trope but it's blood, not booze.

Does it have to be treated as a problem in universe to be an example? James Bond drinks over four times the recommended maximum for an adult but never suffers any problems for this In-Universe.
