    Пить как рыба

    Does this phase have any meaning in Russian:
    "Пить как рыба" ?
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    I guess I understand what it means, but it sounds strange and foreign.

    i think this means "drink too much" (vodka). but now, such phrase is pretty rare
    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.

    Но это все, Дмитри -- на английском есть такая фраза "to drink like a fish." Как кто-то сказал ранее, это просто значит "пить очень много" (а также есть вариант для курения: "to smoke like a chimney"). К примеру:
    -I saw John Doe today. Boy! He looks terrible -- he told me he has kidney problems!
    -Oh, yeah. Well, that's not surprising since he drinks like a fish!

    Правильно я понял и ответил тебе, Дмитри?

    в основом, Бармчик придумал новую пословицу "пить как рыба", но в русском уже есть "to drink like a fish" - "пить как лощадь"

    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    We can also say "He was sitting in his Ford Bronco with the windows rolled up smoking up a storm"
