You don't have to drink to prove you're a man. Why should you have to prove yourself to anyone?

What is a man? Who can define what a man is beyond the biological definition? Smurfy is right. You should not have to prove yourself to anyone. You are unique. Celebrate it!

C'mon now, 623. Don't be a big girl's blouse. You need to drink that rum, take some crack cocaine and sniff some glue, all at the same time. Then and only then will you be a man.

Time for your "friend" to grow up.
Incidentally, this stuff is more effective at helping you chuck it:

Why not get your mate to do it first?

Great idea.

Drinking like this is dangerous.  Some people have a very low alcohol tolerance and drinking spirits like rum can make you very ill.  Alcohol is a poison and f*cks you up eventually leading to liver damage and high blood pressure.  Women are a far better drug.  Wrap it up though.

That reminds me of that line in The Royle Family:
Dave Best: [Jim, Dave and Denise are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? The previous question was Ethanol is a form of which substance?] Alcohol. I thought you would've known that, Denise.
Denise Royle: I've never even drank ethanol.

I have a liow tolerance to alchohol which can be both good and bad. Good: only takes me a little to get tpisy. Bad: If I overdo it (which I often do when in company) I really pay for it the next day.

Does anyone else get a nose bleed if they drink red wine?

I can't drink red wine, one sip and instant migraine.

Perhaps the following poem is most relevant to this post: (http://www.davidpbrown.co.uk/poetry/rudyard-kipling.html)

If...
Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
