I googled it and still don’t understand the connection.
Years ago I came to the conclusion that house painters were the heaviest drinkers of the trades.

In one of the “Blackadder” shows Edmund says (something like): It has as much chance of surviving as the contents of a beer cabinet in premises where painters have been at work”.
“It has as much chance of surviving as the contents of a beer cabinet in premises where painters have been at work”.
My most memorable painting job was painting a small kitchen.
The owner of the house was a single woman with two daughters 18 and 19, and in the kitchen she had a second refrigerator dedicated to a full size keg of beer with a tap on the outside of the refrigerator.
The job took almost a month for my partner and I to finish, and it includes my only mother, daughter story.
A minor player was one very naive Navy SEAL boyfriend.
