I'm not disputing it, I couldn't do a bottle a day. Every branch of my family tree has an alcoholic on it. I was just commenting how common it is in Britain and that women never make good drunks.
It's the British way. Tony Parsons once made a very good observation about women drunks - it's never a good look. Some men can carry it with aplomb but never the fairer sex. Sexist attitude or just the painful truth? No idea.
