Maybe you got the runt's of the litter. We know how to hold our liquor.

Yea they were both born in Poland, there brothers, they been here for afew years and are 20 now, so they weren't quite brought up the Polish way of drinking, you guys do know how to hold your liquor, I had another friend from there that could seriously drink, but I never got the chance to have a competition with him, oh well.

and I know what you mean about the whole ancestor thing, I'm from England, came here 3 half years ago, and when people find out there like "I'm from England" and I say "oh yea, where abouts?", well I wasn't born there but my grandmother is from there", so I say "How the fuck are you from England then?" and it ends there, I just don't get it, I could say I'm from Africa, because I'm sure if I go back in my family tree afew thousand years, I'm sure I had some family born there, so just afew words to people like this, if you weren't born in the country, don't say your from there.

The Russian paramedics carry vodka in their ambulances to give out as a "treatment."

Alcoholic bear cured of vodka habit

An alcoholic Russian bear has kicked the habit after a millionaire animal lover paid for him to be treated at a drying out clinic.

Potapych became famous in Moscow for his binges after developing a taste for sharing his keeper's daily bottle of vodka.

At a new home, the bear was weaned off liquor, through a steady reduction of vodka mixed with his food.

According to the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, it is a fairytale ending to the bad start the bear made in life.

He was bought as a cub by a Russian businessman who kept him in a park alongside his Moscow villa.

After the businessman was jailed, Potapych was ignored by everyone except his keeper, known as 'Uncle Misha'.

With little to do, Uncle Misha increasingly turned to the bottle to pass the time, and shared it with Potapych by pouring it on his food. Later the bear helped itself to the vodka, and the pair would often be seen staggering around the estate.

Many visitors who travelled to the park made the matter worse by bringing vodka as gifts for the two.

The bear's binges only ended when the wealthy head of the animal department of a Russian film company learned of Potapych and paid to finally dry him out.

Film company spokesman Tatyana Yarkina said: "The separation was heartrending for them both, but Potapych is far happier now. Now Potapych drinks milk."

"The competition lasted 30, perhaps 40 minutes and the winner downed three half-liter bottles. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Roman Popov, a prosecutor pursuing the case in the town of Volgodonsk.

No one batted an eye at the fact that Mr. Popov is the prosecutor?

irony?
