Title: Holding one's liquor Post by: Ian Maxwell on June 26, 2011, 03:10:24 AM Why is "holding one's liquor" (i.e. alcohol tolerance) something to brag about?
Like, isn't the point of drinking to get tipsy (or at least relaxed)? Isn't accomplishing that task with less alcohol more efficient? Shouldn't you be trying to lower your tolerance, if anything? (Yeah, I'm a bit tipsy as I write this. So what?)

If you do achieve the latter, you have failed to hold your liquor.
