I'm sure we all think drinking is clever, I know I do, I fucking love it. I love the Americans too but they can't hold their drink. The British can drink them under the table. Even our girls drink pints.Yes, but because there is no regulation on this sort of thing in Britain, pubs tend to heavily water their beer so it's like 3%. Course, *PROPER* beer *SHOULD* be about 3-4% alcohol. Just drink more. American/Canadian beer is all 5% because they add crap to it, like rice. Frigging RICE? Guh. Have some sake.
But as far as Britain vs. USA goes, go fuck yourself asshuffer. Nobody wants these little battles, we've seen a hundred people like you before, we've discussed it, we're bored of it, OK? Everyone in this frigging newsgroup could drink 99.9% of the population of ANY country under the table. There are ponces in EVERY country that'll drink 2 pints and be weaving. There are types of beer in EVERY country that are hip 'n' trendy but taste like bat urine.
Now on the question of whether the AVERAGE Brit can drink the AVERAGE American under the table! I'm sure we can ALL agree to discuss this since none of us are AVERAGE. I would think that the average Brit *could* outdrink the average American, for one good reason. In America, there are tons of different meeting places: pool halls, bars, swimming pools, gyms, etc. Not all of these involve alcohol (well, they all do for *me*, but again we're talking about AVERAGE suckas here). IN Britain, there's ONE meeting place: the pub. What should we do? Let's go down the pub and have a chat/game of darts/round of snooker (pronounced: SNOOOOOKEH =). So Brits are used to pounding 'em back.
Now if you got, say, Jaz, Dal, and Leaf, and put 'em in a room with Joel, Gonzo, and Sondra, and then put all of THEM in a room with Michel (WHERE ARE YOU DOOD?), myself, and, er, I can't think of a female Canadian db so I'll say Micah =), you'd get nine fucking drunk people. Probably all at different rates, but I'd bet *money* that you couldn't predict ahead of time which people would get drunk first.
I'd draw a chart but I'm getting bored of talking about this. I plan on going
down to the states this weekend with Micah, we're going to drive to a different country
for the sole purpose of watching a movie and playing cards, and oh, drinking. =)
