    My dad joke variation of this is to say…

    “I may have a drinking problem”

    “I don’t know how to hold the bottle!”

    Its gotten a few groans of anguish but then that seems par for the course with my humour :p

      I’ve been thinking about this joke for a while and don’t feel I understand it. I expect there is a double meaning or a cultural saying that is lost on me, please can you explain it?

        Sure! There’s a general thing that people sometimes say when they struggle with alcoholism and that is that they say they have a drinking problem.

        So with the joke here, rather than a drinking problem reffering to someone being an alcoholic, it is instead because they cannot hold the bottle and are thus having a problem with drinking but in a completely different way.

        Hope that cleared it up a little :)
