That scene seems to be Jackson's homage to Spielberg: the drinking contest is very reminiscent of a similar scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark (which of course starred Rhys-Davies) in Marion's bar in Nepal, and the "little hairy women" line echoes Quint's toast, "Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women!" from Jaws. Maybe someone who has listened to the director's commentary can offer more insight...
