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.
Näib, et Piibli aegadel püüdsid mõned, kes olid uhked oma arvatava alkoholitaluvuse üle, teisi joomises üle trumbata ehk näha, kes suudab kõige rohkem juua.
