hollow leg
Inexhaustible drinking capacity
Someone with a hollow leg can consume unusually large quantities of food or drink without apparent effect—as if there were extra storage space in the leg.
The phrase appears most often with alcohol: He can drink all night; he must have a hollow leg.
It also describes big eaters: That kid has a hollow leg—three helpings and still hungry.
