I Am American And The Truth Is We Would Lose To Europe


I guess i am one of the few democrats on this board who is man enough to say that we would DEFINETLY lose in a drinking contest with europe. We live in a country with fat slobs, i mean come on. Europe would totally destroy us and each one of you knows that. Just because Europe is better at drinking than us, doesn't mean you have to lie. I just wanted to get that off my chest.

well we would probably lose if we had a representative by the name of yugioh yugioh in the games

We're the fattest country in the world. Post first generation americans have devolved into beings that can survive for several decades off foods and liquids barely more nutritious than the excrement of our own housepets (which I'm absolutely certain some overpaid chef will attempt to make a delicacy out of before I die). You could easily field an entire team out of people who eat too frequently to pull themselves out of bed. That five person team could outdrink any five person team from any other country. I'm convinced of it.

reply

lol, more like evolved to state of needing very little sustenance to survive.

reply

I'll be honest I am a fat American slob and I don't know if I could outdrink Europeans and I don't care. I know I can easily put down a 30 in a night. And according to my friends my best/worst night consisted of 40 beers and then chugging a pitcher and then chugging a third of a bottle of captains. I'm not proud of any of this but I feel like it may be enough to beat some europeans.

reply

40 of your light beers is hardly worth bragging about

reply

im not saying we would lose or win, because every country can make a team of ringers and if im right (which i think i am) america does currently hold the world record for the fastest chugger in numerous amounts of alchol. If it was everyone in europe against everyone in america, i would say yes europe would win, because not alot of people drink in america compared to that of europe, but the americans who do drink on a regular basis can drink quite alot. But, if we were to put up our (america) best 5 against your st best 5 i would give america a slight edge.

reply

just because you are fat doesn't mean anything. Have you guys heard of that skinny chinese guy who ate all those hot dogs? Same for the europeans.

Body weight has a direct correlation with your BAC(Blood Alcohol Content), the more you weigh the more alcohol it takes for u to reach a higher BAC. So weight does have a proven effect on the amount of alcohol your body can hold. That doesn't mean that every fat person can drink more than skinny people but it does mean their bodies can be conditioned to consume the same amount of alcohol with less of an effect.

reply

The "skinny chinese guy who ate all those hot dogs" isn't Chinese, he's Japanese. You're talking about Kobayashi, right?

Anyway, that's beside the point, since Kobayashi was unseated as the world hot dog eating champion this Independence Day by American Joey Chestnut. U S A! U S A!

okay. I have it would be too close to call. there are a lot of good drinkers in america ( I myself, am pretty good) and there are a of good drinkers is europe to. remeber though. europe is more then one country.

reply

I'm from Florida, I've seen european drinkers. I've beaten everyone that came against me, and some australians too. From what I saw any girl I went to highschool or college with could out drink a europeans or beat any one of them in a drinking game. Several in fact did. Moral of the story, don't lump all Americans into one category. We are 50 states, each with a different culture, we may have one federal government, but we're not the same. I would put Floridians up there with the Irish in the realm of world class drinkers.

I 'm American, but I could easily start a thread titled "I am European and the truth is we would lose to America". Get what I'm saying...? I'm just not childish enough to do so.

reply

What a joke. We would get destroyed. They start drinking at age 6 over there as opposed to 14-15 here.

reply

In all the places i have been i would have to say the Irish would probably win as they will drink from pubs opening to closing and thats with a lock in too. So thats nonstop drinking from like 11am to 2am and thats a regular evening, not just for a party night.

Beer around the world seems to be pretty much the same strength (around 5%) unless you drink something like Tenants Super or Gold Label which are over 9%.

Only real difference in drinking 30 cans of beer in America to 30 cans in Europe is the size of the cans. American beers mostly seem to be in small 330ml/355ml cans where as beer cans in Europe normally tend to be 440ml/500ml. So drinking 30 American cans of beer is roughly the same as drinking 22 cans of beer in Europe. Either way you'll get pissed though. :)

No way could I down a 30 without dying. I salute you.

And yes, we Americans can drink. Cry all you want about diluted beer, we can hang with the best of them.

Though that 'honor' is a little dubious, don't you think?

reply

yes americans drink, and plenty. its nothing to be PROUD of, you know *LMAO*

mainly because your beer is watered down to about half strength!!

i took a visiting american out on the town in melbourne, and im a world famous two pot screamer... boy couldnt outlast ME (a half-his-size girl!)!!

reply

especially since most girls i know drop a wee nippy sweetie (a shot of whiskey) INTO their pint of guinness :D

reply

I think we would win, because if we can drink OUR nasty ass beer, well **** we can drink anything.

reply

i think barfing up 80% water counts as a DQ :P

reply

Well if you're going to drink Guinness, might as well not stop halfway and just upgrade to pure goat piss.

reply

I am American and it would be top 3 between OOOO.S.A, Canada and Ireland in my opinion. Go to any major university in North America and there are guys like Landfill and Barry. We would *beep* own.

reply

America is the land of excess. and since the majority of us are gluttonous , irresponsible over indulgers. I have faith we put up a fight at the very least.

reply

Europe is crap. Only the Germans have any right to talk *beep* about drinking, otherwise, USA owns the world in all regards, including drinking. We're the only country that I've ever visited (Out of about 20), excluding Mexico, that drinks Tequila. The Europeans are scared of it. They hide behind their vodka. Oh no! As if every American male who made it to college can't drink a whole bottle of vodka by themselves. Tequila drunk is the kind of drunk where the real crazyness happens. The only thing Europe has going for it is that in non Euro using countries, beer and liquor in general is CHEAAAAAP, and God Bless them for it.

reply

What 5hit you spout. I'm a European and I love Tequila - cocktails, shots - whatever.

Get over here and drink some single malt Scotch Whiskies with the boys - put some hairs on yer chest!!

I don't have to sell my soul, he's already in me.

reply

So you've obviously never had Absynthe or Jagermeister

reply

Oooooh I like Jager-Bombs....

Tequila? Seriously?
I live in Holland, and the only time we drink Tequila is when the theme calls for sissy/girly drinks.

reply

The Irish would still win.

"Post brigades at every sewer, entrance and exit! I want them found, NOW!!!"

reply

First of all: Europe is a continent, not a country -_-

I guess there are some people in the usa who can drink pretty much, but in general europeans are better at drinking.. Just because we can start in the age of 16/18 and donĀ“t have to wait until we are 21 to drink in bars and clubs..

And of course we drink tequila over here. Here in germany maybe more tequila than vodka.

reply

I actually think whiskey is tougher to put down than tequila. Though hard liquor period is tough.
