One pint of ‘Old Bishop’s Aunt Fannie’s Wichwood Dark Pride ale’ between them would be enough.
Psh, not even worth questioning 😂
Yes.
Just send in the Scots. The rest of us could take the day off.
I always remember going to the States with my wife and ordering a second bottle of wine with our meal. The waitress asked if we were alright and if we were sure we wanted it. We could see all the staff talking and pointing fingers, not in a nasty way. I’m just really surprised.
I mean, I’m from the North, and we drink to celebrate the opening of an envelope.
They drink tiny cans of beer at 330ml yet brits complain that their 440ml are too small, and only a full pint can is good enough. And to be fair we’re right
Glasgow could solo it.
Would be over in time for a kebab
I mean, we’ve been pretty confident on the last 3 occasions this was posted this week – day 4 in a row might be stretching things a bit though
Jfc can this not appear on my feed for 5 fucking minutes

I remember at uni we had an American student. He didn’t drink because he was a reformed alcoholic.
We asked him about it. He drank a naggin of vodka everytime he went out. Oh really? How often do you go out? About once a fortnight.
We were all sitting on the halls green at midday, just getting through our second or third beer of the day absolutely horrified at what he considered alcoholism
I would love to see Stone Cold Steve Austin down two large cans of Special Brew instead of those tiny cans the Americans are proud of
Remember what a scandal it was when George Bush Jr’s 19 year old daughter tried to order wine in a restaurant? Yes they absolutely would
We are veterans – we all started drinking in parks when we were 14, they don’t start until 21.
Absolutely. Now abusing prescription pain killers on the other hand, Brits don’t stand a chance.
two fond memories i have when it comes to drinking with Americans.
first one a, friend and myself started chatting with 5 US coast guard chaps in a pub. they said they were here for some joint training but i can’t remember what training anyway its about 5pm we are having the banter and the beers then its midnight my friend and i are deciding what pub to go to next we turn to our new friends….they’re pale, swaying and slurring. they all say they need food and sleep. these dudes were mountains of men they were fuckin huge and towered over us. exchanged a number with one of them to sort a sesh another night. never heard from them again.
and the second one was with US Marines. now first of all they could drink better than the coast guard but they still struggled and to end it one of these massive chiseled out of marble chaps wanted challenge someone to a drinking competition of necking pints. My buddy nominated his wife to go against the Marine. yeah the wide eye look of shock as she drained pints in seconds was hilarious. he soon turned green snd his mates ripped the piss out of him. was great.
id happily have a beer with any of these guys again though. they were all sound.
Reminder that American “lite” beer is the same as our shandy.
I was in the Midwest of America once and those boys can put them away. It’s all beer though. They sniff a spirit and they’re legless.
They have therapy, we have pub banter. We’re in different leagues for drinking.
11 million Czechs walk into the room.
I was in Vegas and I bought a “bucket of beer”.
There were 5 of us, 4 Welsh and I (antipodean and British grown)
The bucket contained 5 bottles of Budweiser, 3.5%.
We all had one, and I went back to get another, and they informed me that they couldn’t serve me as they don’t encourage binge drinking.
Apparently, two small beers, not even a pint, is considered binge drinking… so… take that as you will.
An urban myth which was going round in my Royal Naval days was that the yank sailors had in their pass books the following statement:
“When encountering British sailors take the following advice:
Do not argue with them, YOU WILL LOSE
Do not fight with them, YOU WILL LOSE
Most importantly NEVER try to out drink them , YOU WILL LOSE! ”
🤣
I saw on another sub “a grown man would be drunk on 500ml wine” – that’s 2 glasses.
American man maybe. Not us.
“You people drink like you don’t want to live”
I think three blokes from Glasgow could probably destroy all of America.
Americans are notorious lightweights when it comes to drinking. We, on the other hand, are gold fucking medallists when it comes to booze.
/r/theydidthemaths
TLDR: Yes we reasonably could
We might not out drink them but Shazza would beat the crap out of all of them outside the kebab shop at 2.00 in the morning
Yeah no doubt about it. The only thing I’d worry about are Midwesterners and southerners due to their whisky, bourbon, and moonshine
Americans need to drink lite beers that are watered down piss and served ice cold, so as to numb your tongue and avoid the crap taste.
The English drink their ale at room temperature. We taste it all and we enjoy it.
Also we don’t need sugar in our booze to make it palatable.
I’ve been to the states a few times and it’s definitely true that they’re lighter drinkers than us. However it also takes them 0 alcohol to be social whereas in UK the first 3 pints are just warming up our social skills hahah
Australia here; happy to help if you need any backup against the yanks
Curve ball we are actually a lot funner to drink with as well.
I reckon the women of Eire would outdrink the whole of the UK and America combined.
first time out with colleagues in Manhattan, I finish my mini-pint in 10/15 minutes and spend the next thirty minutes staring intently at my counterpart’s wee bevvy as he nursed it home.
We have the Celtic nations as our elite special drinking forces, they are the best in the world. Highly trained, steel eyed drinkers. Like the Gurkhas of booze. They should be called the ‘Burpers’.
There was a prog on C4 I think where they had various nationalities in groups, staying at the same hotel over a number of weeks, and secretly filmed them. At 3am the Brits were all pissed and dancing on the sun loungers, all the other nationalities had gone to bed before 12.
Yup. For info, I’m Scottish.
I was at a wedding in Texas years ago and the couldn’t believe how much I drank. So much so, they started accusing me of hiding/pouring away my drinks. Wasn’t even a particularly heavy session. There were 6 Scottish people at the wedding and I wouldn’t be surprised if we drank more than the other 150 or so guests combined.
