the amount you can tolerate is proportionate to your weight.

This is true. It was even on the card the cops handed out to me in High School. It had a table with 4 seperate columns based on weight, that showed how a certain number of drinks affected you.

I got that card too. Then I tried to prove it wrong. I passed out and woke up in my own vomit. Good job DARE.

Last night I discovered that there really isnt any deer blood in a bottle of Jager, a fact which I had taken for true my entire drinking career.

Surely my favorite philosopher didn't actually think that there was deer's blood in Jager, did he?

I'll leave you with something that could have been a myth, but actually isn't:

Guinness contains a fair amount of thiamine, which should in theory reduce your chances of getting wernicke's encephalitis or korsakoff's dementia. Drink up!

On a related note, I've been told that "bull's blood" wine actually contains bull's blood. This is of course, ridiculous, but some people seem convinced it's true.

most people assume that when they order top shelf (or pretty much anything but well liquor) at a crappy bar that they're actually getting what they order. Sometimes, yeah, but it's amazing how much of the time the assholes ordering crown and cokes to impress everyone at their crappy college bar are drinking the same damn whiskey as the kid who ordered the 1.50 well whiskey

This is true. I used to drink crown, and I've sent back several glasses of nasty tasting [censored] that didn't have any crown in them.

This is why you never order a non-well drink from a place that doesnt pour it in front of you.

True, also alot of places will just pour well liquor into other alcohol bottles.

I had a friend that worked at one of the nicer bars at his school and when the black fraternity would have mixers there the bar would fill up multiple bottles of hennessy with cheap alcohol and make a killing. This type of stuff happens ALL the time.
