Is this "fella" genuine?

    I'm not sure how to link a post from another thread but some "man" in the hazardous drinking thread (post 13) reckons that anyone who isn't pissed after 4 pints is a alcoholic.
    Now I'm not one to generalise but what kind of slack jawed ****** (to quote the great Jessie Ventura) gets pissed after 4 pints? Surely these alpha males exist only in the hallowed halls of MIT, accountants offices and other great bastions of testosterone and virility.
    I'm not saying that a ability to consume large amounts of lush is anything to be proud of or that Ireland isn't overly fond of the stuff, but this is a wind up.
    Anyone except a teetotal, girls under 9 and American tourists should be able consume 4 pints and not be pissed.

    I don't care how liberated this world becomes - a man will always be judged by the amount of alcohol he can consume - and a woman will be impressed, whether she likes it or not.

    4 pints? A child would be steaming on that i guess?

    Says the inbred from the Pitcairn Islands.

    Also, why the need for a new thread?

    Why not say this in that thread so instead of starting another one?

    well as a "wind up" it certainly seems to be having an effect :)


    drinking habits change, its not an exact science

    He obviously doesn't understand what an alcoholic is.

    Obviously they're genuine, why would someone make that up?

    And I don't see what you're getting at: are you criticising him because he gets drunk on 4 pints?

    You know people don't really have a great deal of say in how quickly they get drunk, don't you?

    So what's he supposed to do?

    What a strange little thread.

    Because I really think that this "man" needs to be singled out and harassed for his puritan, fruity and downright scary views.
