I actually did just that on a note from a user on Reddit. He suggested pretty much the same thing, and after reading the Manual it seems that one of the NVMe ports is different in features compared to the other one. The manual is sadly very brief and short, but according to it "1@SATA*& PCIe mode, 1@PCIe x4 with Optane memory". Sadly there are no mentions of which is which in the manual.
FYI, I had installed the OS NVMe on the port closest to the CPU as that one is usually the Speedier port on many other motherboards I had worked with. So I opened up the computer case and had a closer look at the markings on the Motherboard itself. While both ports are marked (Scoket 3), one is M.2_1 (The one closer to the CPU socket), and the other one is marked M.2_2. Whats is more is that there is a small table next to each, and if I can read signage used correctly, The one closer to the CPU has PCIe x4, and SATA, but No IRST. The other port however, has the PCIe x4, and IRST, but no SATA. Here is the highest quality picture of the motherboard I could find on the internet, if you zoom in you can make out the markings I am talking about.
Anyhow, I turned the computer off, and swapped the OS NVMe and the storage NVMe ports around and ran the benchmark test again. Interestingly there were some improvements on the OS drive, and also some improvements on the Storage NVMe drive as well. But in both cases it was not by much.
So much has been discussed in this thread and I wanted to chip in with my own two cents in answering the original poster.
Based on tried and true, unbiased medical research, personal experience and common sense;
Your body actually needs alcohol to function, but however much it requires, it makes on its own. Any additional quantity is detrimental to your liver and your brain cells.
Depending on your daily lifestyle and your healthy habits, plus genetic predisposition, your body will have a very wide variety of reactions to the alcohol and its type being consumed. You can be super lightweight and blow chunks of what you have had prior to your party all over your friends, or you might end up having a naturally high tolerance and be able to manage your own.
Either way, at your age, your body will soon adapt since you are still growing and that is what a young body does when introduced to elements of stress compared to say a 27-year-old. All the physical damage you are inflicting to your organs aside, drinking at your age can be a slippery slope to a lingering dependency at an older age, if not full alcoholism. As with any other form of substance abuse, alcohol soon turns into an escape from the difficulties of life which you will inevitably face an ever increasing number of as you grow older. The immediate accessibility of alcohol around pretty much any corner these days will only go further in fueling your addiction to it by the time you are legally allowed to purchase it freely.
As a person who has never had alcohol before, you might want to make sure that your first time exposure to it is in a safe environment and preferably with a close friend or family member as opposed to a party where peer pressure might force you into doing something you are forever going to regret, and probably be remembered by among your friends for.
When it comes to drinking and how it affects you, you might want to watch this short excerpt from The Legend of Bagger Vance movie. This is the best short description of drinking I have ever seen put in a film in my entire life.
Hope that helped you some young man, and do enjoy your party.
