Who Hit John? and other drinking terminology....

[jscheck]

As I haven't heard it yet, anybody heard "He's a soup sandwich"?

You haven't had a good one till you've had a Korean So Ju Experience. Lost many a good brain cell

I have occasionally been over served . . .

I enjoy watching old movies on the various cable channels.
Interesting to note that all through the late 30's onto the 40's, 50' and 60's it was considered a funny 'gag' to have a drunk in the story.
Remember 'Otis' in the Andy Griffith Show?
I am glad that we've moved past that.
I've dealt with far too many drunks to ever think they're funny.

And the terms in those old movies you never hear anymore:
'Gassed'
'In the bag'
'Bombed'
'Boffo'
and a bunch more I can't recall....

snot slinging; falling down; pukin in the gutter drunk comes to mind...

I hate to say, but anyone else know what a "blind pig" is?

I dont,---yet, but it sounds funny.

 

[the ringo kid]

When I was a teenager a blind pig was a after hours drink establishment that operated without benefit of legal documents.

I have on occasion been Braille drunk, I had to feel my way home.

One of my brothers joined the Delta Tau Delta Frat-and was that way many-a-late Sat night/early Sunday morning. Heck, I remember more than once watching him crawl in the street gutter after passing out in the street-in his underwear. More than once-he managed to crawl upstairs and got stuck trying to crawl through furniture on the way to the bathroom.

I DO partake of some of my homemade RHEUMATIZ medicine AS NEEDED for medicinal purposes, now and then.

Ahh, Tuscarora's dad--Jack Elam.

 

[the ringo kid]

Spoken with a slow southern drawl while slurring: " I'm not nearly as thunk as you drink I am!"

Or after having three Grape Nehi-Radar O'Reilly's version: "I'm not so think as you drunk I am." The episode where Maj Burns stole a Colonels Colt. 45 and Radar got blamed and was fixing to be courtsmartilled for.

Watching men get ****-faced is bad enough, but watching women do it is even worse. I once had to carry a date out of a Mexican restaurant that served "Texas-sized Margaritas", literally over my shoulder. She looked a lot like this:

On the other hand, it distresses me when you go to a nice restaurant, order some special wine, and they only fill the glass about 1/3 full. I have never understood that. Apparently, neither has she:

At any rate, the days when I would occasionally worship the porcelain princess are long over - I still enjoy liquor, but I don't allow myself to get plastered. Never again will I try to imitate Foster Brooks...

Did you ever date this one, John? Talk about making a lasting first impression...

New details in case of woman who destroyed artwork on bad date - CBS News

FTA:
HOUSTON -- Authorities say an intoxicated Dallas woman who was on a first date with a prominent Houston trial lawyer caused at least $300,000 in damage to his art collection, including two Andy Warhol paintings. Authorities said she tore down several paintings and poured red wine on some while yelling obscenities...

My best Foster Brooks imitations were when I was sober.

And so was he. Damn, I do miss the old Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. I watch one on Youtube now and then.

One time my friend was driving home and was pulled over. He blew a very high blood alcohol level. When asked by the officer why he was driving(rhetorical question) he responded “ I had to, I was too drunk to walk!”

Skull Buster & Scooter Juice was the local name for home made
stuff. You never drank it unless you knew who made it, then
maybe not. I've seen some off it take the bottom out of a
Styrofoam cup. All those old guys are gone now. They use to
have pride in their product.

"Blind Pig"= Speakeasy
You all remember prohibition.
When I was a kid in Chicago the term was still used along with "Gin Mill", but at that time it just meant the local tap.

 

[vytoland]

in the military in my late teens and stationed overseas, my free times were often spent getting wasted at the "club" and having a good time .... LOL

Three sheets to the wind refers to a sailboat out of control because the sheets (the lines or ropes that control the sails) are untended, and blowing in the wind. Thus, the boat is at the mercy of the winds, waves and King Neptune.
