The theory is: Hyper-active nerve endings giving us a lower pain threshold, (and why local anaesthesia works almost too well - it binds more tightly to the nerve endings), and a difficult to suppress central nervous system, which leads to a higher pain tolerance (and a legendary alcohol consumption ability).

Redheads are basically tough whiners.
