As I write this I'm a little worse for wear, this begs the question, why do animals come into the whole drunk thingeeemigig? Am I as drunk as frog? Am I as pissed as a newt? Drunk as a Skunk? Rat arsed? All these sayings bear absolutely no connection to reality, not once have I sat and watched a programme where the great and good of natural animal behaviour have produced a compelling, in depth series of said animals behaving decidedly off key due to having a rinse. The telly is off, I'm sat here feeling a little detached from the norm, content, if you will, I feel nothing like a Rat, Skunk, Frog or Newt, indeed, I feel quite good, if only for a short time, tomorrow will arrive and a Dog and the hair of which will undoubtedly steady the nerves, and so a Dog enters the equation, what precisely is the link between booze and animals?
It's not just animals though. The number of different permutations for describing your drunkenness is unlimited. **** faced Pissed as a fart Sloshed Blottoed Mortal Smashed Hammered Three sheets to the wind On your merry way Roy Cropper'd Ken Barlow'd Mario Ballotelli'd Ian Beale'd Phil Mitchell'd Mary Berry'd You could use pretty much any combination of words, phrases or people's names (fictional or not) to describe being drunk. Drunk as a nun in a kebab shop.
I remember reading somewhere that in ancient Aztec times there was a myth around 400 Aztec Rabbit Gods who were smashed all the time and lived in the moon. The visible craters from Earth were the rabbit burrows. I can't remember the rest of the story, but they used to day as drunk as 400 rabbits. Not drunk as a skunk or any other thing.
Drunk and dont care about the consequences, thats the dangerous one, no matter how drunk anybody is, folk still know what there doing, fighting, doing things behind there partners back, only time your drunk and dont no wat your doing is if you cant stand up and thats usually wen you even realize that.nxt day sometimes you cant remember, god help you if you can. Mi mate once camcorderd me we'd had some bother night before, 2 of us wi are birds against 3 lads, dropped em, but to watch that video of myself, bragging, there fault, but still bragging, speaking like av never seen myself before, horrible,i tried using same method on a few lads and lasses never for the video to be completed cos they dont like themselves. I didnt like myself not many will.so id call it, drunk and a c.nt.
As the barman said, “I’ve got a whisky named after you.” The white horse replied “What, you have a whisky called Eric?”
I try not to dwell on the past but I can safely say everything I've ever regretted doing or saying to this day I did drunk, people say that alcohol is a truth drug because you say what you mean, I call b*llox on that piece of wisdom - it removes your powers of reasoning and intellect and turns many people into, as you say, c.nts, including me.........350 days sober today.
Well done you, a lot of truth in your post, I only go out if I'm in the proper frame of mind, if I'm not then alcohol only compounds the problems, it is a depressant when life isn't going to plan, I've had some great times when alcohol has been involved but as you say there have been times aplenty where alcohol has turned me into a person I don't ever want to be again.
I certainly don't judge those who drink, that's not helpful, my wife and kids still drink, its up to the individual and I know there are plenty of people who can moderate - I tried to do it "don't drink 4 days a week, 1 week a month, 1 month a year" - but couldn't do it. I would just urge people to drink sensibly, lockdown has been a disaster: https://www.theguardian.com/society...eaths-in-england-during-lockdown-report-finds
If a hawk drinks to much water it’s a sign of some illness. In medieval times such as hawk was known as a ‘boozer’ and that name was passed onto people who drank too much and the places they drank in.
