We are so hosed ....

DG

I think we are fine. Except for the occasional LF, how many of are actual "Social Drinkers"? I prefer to drink alone in a dark corner.

I'm lucky then; I only drink 1 drink: yes. it's absinthe.

Here here! Anyway, if I was a social drinker I would be out somewhere instead of staring at this screen. I'm an anti-social drinker.

Plus, I water my drinks down.

Here's to watering drinks!

I saw that article. It made me sad.

That means I can only have 99 drinks per month, dammit!

x 90 + x 9 =

x 100 =

If I were a social drinker, I'd drink
a cask-load less than their ration.

I just returned from Barnum's circus
and they served beer. The Soul Circus
is in town too and I wonder if they serve
Bud or some other liquor.

100 Drinks, that's a lot of friggin drinks in a month. If you were to socially drink that much absinthe that would cost about $500 a month. $6,000 a year. That's a lot of money.

100 drinks in a month is an average of 3 per day. It's not THAT much. It's just regular fairly moderate drinking.

Of course, the article DOES explain a lot about Da Mayor.

A dark, smokey corner in the recesses of my tiny cave are where I drink. at the first site of another huiman being, a bay at the moon til the run away in fear.

Social drinker my ass.

No news to me...

Luckily I'm already fried in the brain...sos I can drink all I want.

if you are prone to depression, stop reading here.

i stopped drinking. i'm going to be less brain damaged and smarter than you all.

i feel very, very sorry for you all.

I read the article too and promptly altered my drinking habits. Instead of drinking two ounces of bourbon four times every day, I now drink eight ounces of bourbon all at once. That's only one drink a day, and I think I'm pretty safe with that.

At one point W.C. Fields was limited to one drink a day by his Doctor.
So he filled a 16 oz glass with Bourbon,.............. the doctor gave up.

Asked once, what his father would have thought if he knew that W.C. drank a quart of Gin a day, He replied, "Yes, my father would have called me a sissy".

buhahaha

He's my hero.

I was not a drinker in my youth.
I used to have a goal of one beer a day,
never could keep up with it though.
After I found absinthe I had to learn some self control,
thats new to me.
I drink about 15 shots a month now ,
hardly ever have a beer. Even though
brain cells are highly over rated.

Absinthe. Its not just for breakfast anymore.

Hey! There's an article on CNN.com that quotes a study that says heavy social drinkers exhibit signs of brain damage -similar to severe alcoholics including memory loss.

Oh wait, I forgot , that's what the beginning of this thread was about!

Myself, I subscribe to the Buffalo Theory:

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of alcohol eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, my friends, is why you always feel smarter after a few drinks.

I got a head full of ideas, they're drivin' me insane!

I like that theory , Hiram.

Me too.

I drunk I used to know said that bad habits were good to have because at some point in life you would have to have someting to give up in order to save yourself.

I do believe you have hit it on the head, Hiram.

Duh...whut?

ALL YOUR POSTS ARE BELONG TO ME!!!!

After this weekend, I can safely say that nobody at LCLF is an ANTI-social drinker.

Y'all are screwed.

I, meanwhile, met my drinking quota for several weeks in one night (at least, from what DS sez). Guess I'm screwed, too.

Fortunately, my leftover White Fairy somehow made it to Motel 6 with me (nobody opened it, it was in a little green bottle all taped up like it'd been in a bad accident). Nobody drank the other WF (in the WF bottle), either, as far as I could tell. The sad little green bottle made it thru airport security, too. I finally had sufficiently steady hands this afternoon to pour it back into the bottle.

If only it'd been Swizzle' . . . or dirty whore . . . or something equally delightful! Ah well, I still like WF.

Before leaving for LCLF I had two beers
here at the Mini Mansion.
Then 3 double g+ts at the airport.
Another on the plane.
Then I got to Seattle and got serious.

I am a convert to the Buffalo Theory.

i always hang in a buffalo stance

Buffalo gals go 'round the outside .....

... which is as it should be.

The coldest winter I ever spent, was a summer in Buffalo*







* With apologies to Mark Twain.

Outlaws watchin' to pick us off, on the trail of the buffalo.

Circle the wagons!

and

I am also a buffalo convert.

Givin blood and drinkin

Alright!

We've told you before: in real Engrish, you want to form the plural of "post" by prefixing "all" and using the plural "are", certainly *NOT* by appending an "s" to the word itself!

Welcome back, Peng. We missed you at LCLF.

DG

Yeah, what the monkey said!

You didn't give us an example , Six.

yeah, welcome back, six.

even I missed you.
