Holding Liquor by the Ears

Alright, listen up, you big lug! You just heard, 'How do women hold their liquor? By the ears.' You probably thought, like, holding a *drink*, right? But 'hold their liquor' is an idiom, you know, a phrase that means how well someone can drink a lot without getting wasted. But then the joke twists it, you clueless human! It literally means holding a *bottle* of liquor *by its ears*! Like some old-timey jug with handles. It's a classic play on words, you slowpoke! You really do need things spelled out for you, don't you?
