hollow leg
noun
a characteristic ascribed to someone who is able to eat or drink in great quantities US- For him, alcohol acted as a stimulant, putting him in a euphoric state, and he developed a high capacity for it–a “hollow leg,” as it is often called. He could drink large quantities because of the way his body processed alcohol. — Charlotte S. Kasl, Many Roads One Journey, p. 128, 1992
