: What does the saying "A man's not a camel" mean? I know it has to do with drinking beer. My guess is that guys use it as an excuse to drink alot, in saying "Well, I can't take it with me (like a camel can) so I better drink it now". That's my interpretation anyway... thoughts??

camels are renowned for storing liquid in their bodies so that they can last a long time between drinks as they wander across deserts.

men can't do that.

simple as that.
