A myth called the "Destruction of Mankind" suggested that if a goddess became drunk on red beer, she would no longer slaughter humans This tradition morphed over time, leading to the modern belief that if you get a looker soused on the expensive stuff, you might get lucky...

New Years? Oh no!
There's nothing I hate more than drinking five bottles of champagne and waking up in Vegas married to a midget gymnast from Varekai! who doesn't really love me and only married me for my pawn tickets and my love for getting nasty in the back of a limo...

There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head,
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How the hell can he drink when he's dead?

"The Festival of Drunkenness was not a social occasion for them," said Betsy Bryan, who led the dig. "People did not come to enjoy themselves. They drank to enter an altered state so that they might witness the epiphany of a deity."
Bryan, who is chair of the Near Eastern Studies Department at Johns Hopkins University, added, "In general, the ancient Egyptians frowned upon drunkenness, but they would come together to drink for a specific purpose."
I fail to see any difference with today.
When I get drunk on purpose it's amazing the Goddesses
I see.

Pic #1- Only TWO beers to get there? Well, it's economical, I guess.
Pic #2- In the drunken college yahoo crowd- this is a warrior gone to Valhalla. Well done.
Pic #3- That's art- plain and simple.

Many ancient Egyptians marked the first month of the New Year by singing, dancing and drinking red beer until they passed outOh, well, I guess emulating one out of three ain't bad...

I'm sure those three are going to have an epiphany
of some kind.
It must be nice to have friends too, I remember a rather
drunk afternoon in Vietnam when my two friends from NYC
got loaded, one passed out in the sand and the other built
a little bonfire on his chest. All in fun of course!
