Like how people have tried to wipe out rabbits or something by poisoning them, and some survive and become immune to that particular poison, then so do their children. Seeing as we have a little more technology then a bunch of rabbits, we will most probably be able to avoid killing off most of our species and be able to reproduce super-kids who don't seem effected by small doses of alchohol or drugs. Of course, that would mean people take more to get the same hit, however it is less likely you'll go into a fit after getting your drink spiked. Or this could be reversed, and then if pregnant women are kept incredibly healthy, no chemicals, not even coffee or chocolate, anything that could create an effect on an unborn child. That could result in a race of children that were highly susceptible to illness, etc. If women are hyped up on important vitamins that are beneficial then it is possible that they may help them.
So, who believes me?
