On: A lesser known mechanism for alcohol tolerance

Yes. Often you'll do 3 - 5 tastings a week, sometimes even two in a day so spitting really helps keep the alcohol intake down.

The thing that really gets you is palette exhaustion though. Taste 40 ripe Cali cabs and they all start tasting the same after a point...

(If someone wants to search for the term, also try "palate fatigue")
