After a brutal campaign in Wan Chai this weekend, I was wondering why the hangovers seem to be getting worse. Could it be my age? After a hour googling the internet in an attempt to get some useful information on hangovers and the effect of booze on old men, I came across this quote from Faulkner and decided to do nothing.
Whiskey and 50

A famous philosopher once said: I drink, therefore I am.
So I think it’s OK for you to keep drinking, unless you want to stop being an am.
well, I guess when you get old there’s not much left to look forward to, so if booze is all ya got, then better make it a double!!!
let me tell you about the effect of booze on my old man – damn thing won’t get hard… not even the slightest rise… not even in the expert hands of one of those Thai ladyboys in Soi Cowboy…
well, I think it’s really nice that a gentleman your age knows how to use things like computers and the internet – good for you!
Friend, take it from me, no good will come of all that drinking. You should enroll in a 12 step programme, join AA, or something. Jesus might’ve liked a little wine with his fish, but he taught us that moderation is good, and to stay away from the hard stuff. But I doubt your drunken old legs will carry you more than 6 steps!
why does someone always have to bring Jesus into it…?!
My father was an alcoholic. Some people call it a disease, but I don’t think it is, or at least it wasn’t for my Dad. He used to have a whale of a time, especially at family gatherings, hitting the vodka (sometimes craftily concealed in a mineral water bottle) and falling all over the place. Once, at Thanksgiving, after an argument with my Uncle Pete, he dropped his pants and underwear and started rooting the half-carved turkey, shouting “NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL STUFFING”!! Everyone was pretty horrified, and no more turkey was eaten that day, but looking back it was pretty funny. And Dad lived until the ripe old age of 54, which isn’t a bad run all things considered.
Chub – great story about the Thanksgiving Turkey… my parents are vegetarians, and tea-total too… but I can just imagine pops sticking it to a couple of nut cutlets! ride on…
To Aggie: “someone always brings Jesus into it” because Jesus is everywhere, all around us! You can’t escape the fact that you will burn in HELL.
Counselor, why don’t you go peddle your bible bashing mumbo jumbo some other place?! Hell is already here on earth, having to listen to jerks like you!
