        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.

            Before you turn up

            Alternatively, explain that the phrase "drinking to excess" actually has no meaning in English.
