Alcohol fires the creative ones...
Good article at the above link. No student of English and American literature fails to be aware that many authors use hard drink to fuel (or lubricate) the wheels of creativity, but I was still surprised to read of McCullers and Parker being so enamoured of booze.Originally posted by c.d. View Post
When I was much younger, my ambition was to become a writer of creative works. I remember on one visit with my uncle (a retired general of Irish-American extraction) when he was teasing me about not caring for alcohol drinks by reminding me of the famous authors and poets who were drinkers. He rattled off several names, and I retorted, "Yes, Uncle Eddie, but most of them are dead now, too!" He laughed, as did my father and aunt, and conceded the argument to me.
That said, I've nothing against an occasional glass of wine, or some Bailey's Irish Cream in my hot chocolate.Pat D. https://forum.casebook.org/core/imag...rt/reading.gif

There are several good reasons for drinking,
And another just entered my head.
If you can'f have a drink when you're living,
You f-----g well can't when you're dead.

I believe it was Frank Sinatra who said "if you don't drink, when you wake up in the morning that it the best that you are going to feel all day."

The past issues also highlight some individual and what he drinks on a regular basis as well as the amounts. These people are serious drinkers.Originally posted by c.d. View PostYou can also read articles from past issues. Love the covers on these.

Hello Pat,
You are right that writers and booze seem to go hand in hand. I always liked the story told about Faulkner. Apparently one of his relatives said to him "say Bill, are you drunk when you write those stories? To which Faulkner replied "not always."
