It seems that in Bible times some who were proud of their supposed ability to hold their liquor tried to outdrink others, or they tried to see who could drink the most.
Acīmredzot Bībeles laikos daži, kas lepojās ar savu iedomāto spēju panest lielas alkoholisko dzērienu devas, centās pārspēt citus dzeršanā, citiem vārdiem, viņi centās noskaidrot, kurš var izdzert visvairāk.
