Alcohol Drinking Types

The UK Government has identified nine drinking types ...

 

We All Need A Drink Now And Then

 

..... ostensibly to help tackle drinking problems in the population.

 

However I, like a lot of people I suspect, was interested in what type I was 😇

 

I provide the list for those with a similarly curious nature.

The Nine Drinking Types

I won't say what type I think I am .... because it shows what a social saddo I am 😔 ..... Anyway, I prefer to be philosophical about my drinking .....

The Philosopher's Song (Monty Python)

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away;
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
