This makes me think of a story my sister told me. Back in the early 70s, she was friends with an Arab living in Saskatchewan. He was also a firm pacifist. So they were walking in a park in Regina when a large bird—can't recall what kind, but presumably a small hawk of some sort—swooped down to get a mouse. This guy runs at it, waving his arms, and the bird drops the mouse. Arab pacifist feels he's done well for the little guy. But that bird seemingly made a note of him because for days on end, when he walked thru the park the bird would buzz him and shriek. The guy eventually phoned the city to complain about the racist birds in the park (and I'm guessing the city took the bird's side because Saskatchewan is racist and isn't keen on flakes). Anyway, birds are probably mean drunks and pacifists are often goofs.

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
I dipped into one of my remaining bottles of wine from a batch dating back to April. Very, very smooth stuff. I'm not drunk, but quite mellow as a result. (My regular evening wine consumption has, I'm pretty sure, aided my sleep. I'm gone within five minutes of putting away the book.)

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
Not until tomorrow when I break into a 19% abv bourbon barrel stout. Sipping on local haze cans and discount Unibroue Trader Joe’s contract brew now.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
I’m in France and got very drunk last night. I had fried sardines, escargot with pasta, a bottle of wine, chocolate mousse, melon brandy, and four beers. Now I am awake and fearful of what will be exiting my backside soon.

New Glarus Brewing makes a chocolate stout round these parts and it is pretty fantastic!

No booze relaxes me more than imperial stout—I'm just sapped of all energy. I should stock some just for insomnia purposes.
