H. S. Thompson preferred Wild Turkey on the rocks? Not per “The Kitchen Diaries”. His friends insist that he started each day with a pint (!) of scotch – I think it was Chivas Regal – on the rocks with breakfast. After finishing that, he put another pint of the same beverage in a go-cup and took it with him as he headed out. I’m not saying that he didn’t drink Wild Turkey, but a quart of Chivas before lunch would seem to indicate that it was a real favorite.

What, no mention of absinthe, that anise-flavored concoction so popular among artists and poets in the Belle Epoque? There were many said to enjoy the drink, from Baudelaire to Van Gogh, even Aleister Crowley.

To continue on subject of the Prime Minister and booze, he dreaded cocktail hour with Roosevelt (as did many others) because the President was too heavy-handed with the vermouth.

And he invented the Irish Car Bomb (j/k).

Timmy: Mommy, I have a drinking problem.
Mom: Oh my God! Timmy, your only six! This is your no good father’s fault!
Dad: My fault? Maybe if you weren’t such a stuck up leech I wouldn’t have to drink!
Mom: You idiot! This family doesn’t need you! Get out!
dad: I’m going!
Mom: Now tell me about your drinking problem, Timmy.
Timmy: If jack has three cans of Pepsi, and he drinks one, how many does he have left?

actually janis joplin’s southern comfort bottle was always filled not with southern comfort but with codeine cough syrup…a double whammy of alcohol and opiates!
