Enjoy today's expression.
Let's go back in time.
Today is a good expression for the weekend.
Now, for most of you, it is Friday, April.
What is it?
April 3rd.
I don't even know the date.
My goodness.
Friday, April the 3rd.
Friday night.
For many people, especially in America, probably in Europe, probably in Asia too, it's a very important night to meet your friends and have a good time and maybe even have a beer or some wine, or maybe some whiskey or vodka or rum or tequila or something else delicious, something alcohol.
And some people can drink, some people just cannot.
Some people don't drink because of religion or personal reasons.
Some people are allergic to alcohol.
But many people do enjoy alcohol.
And once again, some people can drink a lot and some people can't.
So in this case, we have a great expression.
And today's expression is this.
He can hold his own.
He can hold his own.
He can hold his own.
So what does this mean?
Well, this is a great expression when we talk about drinking.
But we can also use this expression in sports and some other competitive situation.
And what it means is he is very good.
Or he has a high tolerance.
Or he has a lot of skill.
But today I want to focus on the drinking situation.
If somebody can drink a lot of alcohol, then we can say he can hold his own.
We might want to ask somebody, can you hold your own?
Oh man, no, I can't hold my own.
We can also say he can hold his alcohol.
And the nuance is he drinks all of that alcohol inside his body and he holds it, he keeps it and he still functions pretty well.
That's the idea.
Some people can do it.
What do you think?
Do you think Coach Shane can hold his own?
Let's check out the dialogue.
Look at that guy!
Still drinking, and he's fine!
He can hold his own.
How many beers is that?
That's his 23rd can of beer.
What?
23 cans of beer?
Oh my God, the guy must be a giant!
Like 2 meters tall, 300 kilograms...
My goodness, that's crazy.
It's possible.
Believe me, some people can do it.
I'm not joking.
Now, for me, 23 cans of beer, impossible.
23 cans of 7-Up, impossible.
23 cans of water, impossible.
I couldn't drink 23 cans of anything.
But 23 cans of beer, that's just insane.
That's crazy.
Even now, let's say, you know, I think many of you know that I do enjoy alcohol, specifically beer.
And every day I probably have one beer.
Some days no beers.
Some days two beers.
So I probably average one beer a day.
Other alcohol, I can drink a little bit of wine, but one glass is okay.
Whiskey, I'll taste it, but I don't really like it.
Tequila, tequila is good.
If I have a friend or we're having a nice conversation, tequila is nice.
But I don't drink much.
Now, if I had to drink a lot, which I don't, but I could probably drink maybe four or five cans of beer.
And if I drank four beers, for sure five beers, you would see me acting very differently.
So can I hold my own?
No.
No.
I'm pretty weak.
My tolerance... alcohol is not that high.
I'm not that strong.
When it comes to drinking alcohol, I can't really hold my own.
What about you?
Can you hold your own?
Can you drink alcohol?
Do you drink alcohol?
Can you drink a lot?
If you go to a party, are you able to drink a During the evening, have a good time and not be crazy, not be drunk, not be weird, not be strange, not fall asleep, not get angry, not start crying.
Many people have strange behaviors when they drink.
Yeah, yeah, they get all crazy.
Me, if I drink too much, I fall asleep.
Yep, that's me.
When I was younger, nothing really happened.
My talking would be strange.
I would say stupid things.
But some people cry.
Have you ever seen the crier?
Drinks a little bit.
Oh, life is so terrible.
Why did she leave me?
Cry, cry, cry.
Yeah.
Some people get angry.
Were you looking at me?
What did you say?
Crazy people.
Crazy people.
Yeah.
Sleepers.
They're the safe ones.
Some people get stupid.
It's crazy.
Drinking is fun.
When you're young, it's nice to have a drink.
It's nice to have a beer.
And people do enjoy getting drunk.
I know.
It's a good stress release.
There's some, I guess, positive qualities to alcohol.
Health-wise, there are definite benefits to some types of alcohol.
But what's important is how much you drink.
And if you're drinking one glass a day, one can of beer a day, I don't even think that that is drinking.
But people who drink five beers a day or a bottle of wine a day or a bottle of whiskey a weekend...
Well, first of all, you can really hold your own.
And second of all, you might want to slow down just a little bit.
Your liver might be working too hard.
Be nice to yourself and maybe even be nice to your friends.
But the question is, can you hold your own?
So if you're a drinker, let me know.
Can you hold your own?
Are you a pretty good drinker?
Or is your tolerance low like me?
Check out the dialogue two more times.
Look at that guy.
Still drinking and he's fine.
He can hold his own.
How many beers is that?
That's his 23rd can of beer.
Look at that guy.
Still drinking and he's fine.
He can hold his own.
How many beers is that?
That's his 23rd can of beer.
