... The Politics of Alcohol. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
"Perhaps the problem is that nobody really knows what left or right opinions are any more." Exactly.
I think I know something about drinking, having done it on a heroic scale for upwards of 30 years (until a serious lapse of memory led me to give it up). Grand theories derived from drunken outbursts are invariably twaddle. My drinking buddies and I used to have a rule that you simply didn't bring up the next day the outrageous things said the night before. It was understood that they were what they were - drunken ravings, the mind gone berserk - and should be forgotten as quickly as possible. If I am convinced of anything it is that there is no veritas in vino.
