And thats an achievement?
It is often traditionally considered to be an achievement in Britain, yes.
Ideally you don't get drunk though - you should be able to drink as much alcohol as possible, whilst showing as few effects as possible, for some reason. If you become drunk after too few alcoholic drinks, you "can't handle your drink" and you are a "lightweight". These are both negative characteristics in a person.
I'm not saying I necessarily agree with this, I'm just saying it exists :)
Sucks to be alcohol hater
more a sad consequence of having to deal with british weather and men
