He could drink large amounts and be perfectly fine.
You’re talking shit about my family, so back it up because this is where I draw the line.
Fred probably didn't use the best word with 'hold' - because that is just the ability to consume it and remain functional, IMO.
I think handle (ie manage) would be a better word. I had an uncle that was an alcoholic. He could 'hold' his alcohol, but the mere fact that the alcohol had control over him (addiction) meant that he couldn't handle it.
