Not true.
Youd be amazed at the sheer volume of booze a hard core alcoholic can consume and still appear just mildly drunk. A hardcore alcoholic can drink in a few hours an amount that would kill the average person!!
Hence why alcohol detox has to be such a carefully controlled process as you can kill someone if you just suddenly took away all thier booze. (thats if liver failure isnt slowly killing them instead!!).
