Oh, I'm not really complaining. I wouldn't want to be drunk at work (my job is clerical, btw, but because the same code of practice applies to me as applies to the gentlemen on the Control Floor, I'm saddled with alcohol restrictions) - it's just that because I start at about 7:30am, I can't really ...

At my new job working for a government railway department they don't allow more than 0.02 in your system. There are random tests. Last year thirty five employees tested positive.

Cherry blossoms fall;
I could ferment them in a
barrell and make booze ...

But if you're him, then who the hell am i ???

"Why it's Mr Jarvis, the Caretaker!"

"Yes. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

What the ????

I live in Western Australia. Statistically, I believe the Irish are the hardest drinkers, but the Northern Territority in Australia possesses the most beer consumption per head of population.

"... when they came for me, there was nobody left to speak for me."

The US president doesn't need to be drunk. He can't put together sentences as it is.

(Apologies to those who voted for him. I assume there are actually some people who did ...)

I have had a few fine Porters, but my first, I shall never forget. It was, without any doubt, the foulest brew I have ever tasted. Perhaps the bottle had been contaminated, but it tainted my mouth for the rest of the evening. Every beer I had after that one tasted like cheap bourbon and coke. I stil...

Anything fortified from wine. Port, brandy, sherry, etc. And red wine tastes ok to me, but it does nothing for either my head or my teeth. I am infamous for getting black teeth from only one or two glasses of red.

Blackout bad. Memory good.

Me drink now.

Old bluesmen. Leadbelly, Robert Johnson (especially "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom"), Muddy Waters ...

Or Neil Young - preferably the stuff he wrote after Danny Whitten died, or the "After the Goldrush" album.

I don't mind the beer being slightly less cold, but I don't think I like the idea of it being less carbonated.

I try to stay on the slow and steady path, but usually find my drinking speeds up exponentially. I'm doing some high level mathematical research into that area as we speak ...
