I don't drink alcohol personally, but I've noticed a certain attitude amongst drinkers related to how much alcohol people can 'handle' or consume before becoming 'drunk'. Basically it seems the more you can drink without becoming drunk the 'cooler' you are.
Someone who becomes drunk after consuming relatively small amounts of alcohol is branded a 'lightweight', they are often the subject of mocking and insults from other drinkers. Eg. "You got drunk after only 4 pints?! OMFG ROFLOL LIGHTWEIGHT!!!11oneone"
What I don't understand is WHY is being a 'lightweight' considered a bad thing? Surely it's BETTER in that you don't have to spend as much money on alcohol to become drunk? Or am I missing something here?
