Must have knocked back 6 or 7 pints last night myself..Same agan tonight. Not a problem.
Have you seen the Germans on holiday though, Majorca, etc..? They drink like fish from breakfast right through. Thing is they are usually quiet drunks,, unlike the Brits. Quiet, quiet....then they invade Poland.Bored.Comment

When he tackles you about it afterwards simply point out that you're british and 10 pints is a normal amount and not considered to be excess
Before you turn up
Alternatively, explain that the phrase "drinking to excess" actually has no meaning in English.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
