Bump when under the influence, formerly Bump when drunk

I dunno why scotch fu#*$ me up so quickly. But it does. Damns stuff leave a hangover too.

But I'm thirsty. So might as well stick with the scotch and fill er up again. :lol:

 
Not drunk now. Just hungover. At work. And it sucks.

I blame the Blackhawks and Bruins. Drinking bourbon during the game. three OTs = too much (whiskey, that is. Not hockey.)

 
Don't you drink? I notice you speak slightingly of the bottle. I have drunk since I was fifteen and few things have given me more pleasure. When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky? When you are cold and wet what else can warm you? Before an attack who can say anything that gives you the momentary well-being that rum does?... The only time it isn't good for you is when you write or when you fight. You have to do that cold. But it always helps my shooting. Modern life, too, is often a mechanical oppression and liquor is the only mechanical relief.

1) Checking in and bumping the thread

2) My Uncle Tom seriously quoted this line for line the last time we were enjoying some Windsor. I'm a tad freaked out.

Whiskey makes me happy and actually helps me think critically....no joke. Thank you Jim Beam.
