This seems like a good thing to post on Saturday morning! Apparently I've more than made up for my sober college days. (Seriously - I learned everything on that quiz in the last 10 months. Whee!)

What were your results for this "Name that Drink" quiz? I admit that I need more practice;
Here's a fun one from the archives--Modern Drunkard Magazine's advice on how to beat an intervention. It includes this gem:
I am currently working my way through the book The Evolution Controversy in America, written by historian George Webb and published in 1994. I got a kick out of the following quote. It will help to know that the Reverend Ben M.
Thanks to David Killoren for directing me to this excerpt from Bloggingheads. Science writers John Horgan and George Johnson spend a few minutes disucssing the Monty Hall problem.
I beat you by a point. I'm going to blame the culture of academic philosophy for my extensive knowledge of booze. Yeah, that's it.
I also got a 94%, which strikes me as funny. Very few of those listed have I ever tasted or even seen. It's just that I quickly turn to Wikipedia whenever I run into another of those things everybody else seems to know except me.
Well, at 77% I was a mere lush, but that seems only appropriate for somebody who hasn't been able to consume so much as a hard cider in the past 7 or 8 months. (I'm SURE I would have been a drunkard, too, if only I could go to bars!)

Seems a good place to put some great drinking quotes and paraphrases by a classic ex-drunk songwriter:
"I'm standing on the corner of Fifth and Vermouth"
"I don't have a drinking problem except when I can't get a drink"
"Pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more."
"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
"There ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk"
