People always say that shit. and the people that spout this are almost always from the uk or aus. i've spent a lot of time in both places, and i did a lot of drinking in both places with the "locals." I'm by no means some blackhole of liqour, and I didn't have any issues "keeping up" with whoever was out that night. honestly if anything i did a better job of holding my booze. these cats were always getting a little too rowdy and were basically overly interested in picking fights towards the end of the night.
