I don't know what Americans drink like, really, but while I wouldn't do it often, 8 standard drinks is well within my comfortable limits over the course of an evening in with friends, and I am a cis girl who doesn't drink a heap by Australian standards, so I imagine men in more alcohol-focused social groups have wildly different views of what's normal.
I definitely had dinner parties when I was in Japan where my Japanese friends got absolutely hammered on an amount that I barely noticed, so - cultural & social expectations!
