Summary

This quote suggests that men often feel pride in two things that are inherently common and easily achievable: getting drunk and becoming a father. The emphasis is on the irony of these sources of pride, as both actions can be done by any man in a similar manner. The underlying message may be that men should strive for accomplishments that are more unique or meaningful, rather than relying on societal expectations or simplistic achievements as sources of pride.
