I am offended by the use of "Drunken Sailors" in this article. As a Drunken Sailor, I can tell you that no one can buy more booze with less money, anywhere in the world, than a drunken sailor.

I think the entire forum owes you an apology. Even a drunken sailor deserves respect. In fact, I cannot imagine a sober man actually going to sea for months on end.

I am thoroughly offended, too. I think the perfect phrase would be "spending money like a drunken congressman". Why insult sailors when we have a far better target in Washington to zero in on?

Hey, at least the drunken sailor is spending his own hard-earned money, and not someone else's.

Yep, $0.07 San Miguel sure was good....

AMEN Brother!
Brother Scuttlebutt is also an "expert" witness. LOL

"Spending like a Drunken Sailor" is actually a misnomer. It only applied to the first night in port for me. After that, I was able to pace myself and return to the ship with a couple of bucks still left in my pockets.

The first night ashore though, I would walk into a bar and throw 30-days back pay in the air. What stuck to the ceiling, I would save. The rest of it that fell to the floor would go towards contributing to the local economy.
