What Tennessee Ernie Ford's famous (or infamous, depending on whether or not da judging individual stepped aside when he saw said burly personage coming) pick-and-shovel-wielding character possessed --- sixteen times over per day, in fact.

Tenacity (10acity) 

A drinking game where players use 10 cups, each player gets 1 cup of water, 1 cup of chaser, and one shot glass. You play a game such as never have I ever or 2 truths and a lie. To begin a game, all players chug one cup of beer. The first one finish goes first. The object is to last as long as my as you can with only your original chaser cup. Once you need a refill chaser or something else, you loose. GOOD LUCK!

He realized tonality was but has not been raised to the level of a science, and coined the term Tonality Science to go in that direction.
