Out-Drunken

UK's young women are out-drinking men - if one can believe the BBC (and who doesn't) [read about].

I always considered flavoured vodka something disgusting. Alas - I have to admit that the producers of this raspberry vodka had the right instincts while aiming. Pecunia non olet - as Vespasian already pointed out (Although, he referred to urine. Which seems not all too wrong in this case, hence all puns intended).

Funny, in all of the "in places" Mexico City, which are called "antros" young women drink beer out of the bottle like young men. At the beginning I didn't like this attitude, but my beautiful cousin Rocio told me that the society should stop making differences in this behavior, which has nothing to do with being male or female...

Toño: If women would out-drink men because men drink less, I were not concerned. But I don't think that's the case. Someone will have to bear the health care costs. I don't think this out-drinking is based on the occasional healthy glass of wine.

Well in this sense you are totally right. In fact it is not only in Mexico City that young women drink more than young men but all over the world and this is a matter to concern at.
