Recently I celebrated a friend's 24th birthday. His one birthday wish was that he not be able to walk back to the halls in a straight line. Needless to say, he achieved 'nirvana'....and boy oh boy did he put up a show.
It is quite entertaining to observe the varied, colourful manifestations of drunkenness.
You have the infamous drunken speeches. This is when those who are completely shit faced start spewing crap like how 'you're are the light of the world' and 'you're heaven and earth and all things in between'. Hahaha... I've been audience to some pretty memorable speeches. A dear dear friend of mine is a natural when it comes to alcoholic elocution. (Fatso, this post is in memory of you;) )
Then of course, you have the drama queens and suicide kings.
Drama queens tend to start wallowing in shit (not literally)....past shit happened, present shit happening and .... they anticipate future shit to come. Its a complete productionas they launch into bitter diatribes about life and the world as the mascara drizzles down their faces.
The suicide kings are those inebriated jacks who get into fights with anything and everything. J.Daniels and Jim Bean lead them to gross delusions about being macho and the alpha male, further fuelling their already colossal ego.
Testosterone and ethanol......LETHAL COMBINATION!!!!
One of my friends here tends to get his words mixed up when he gets tipsy. He swaps the syllables of words for each other....absolutely hilarious when you are trying to eat dinner with spork and foons, or cuss the batch home. Hahah... priceless... (hence the title of the post)
Its not all masculine pyrotechnics and damsels in distress.You have that spectrum of people who get drunk and then dissapear within themselves. They become eerily quiet.......and slip into an alcohol induced catatonia.
It has to be said that all those legendary arguments/conversations about life,religion, politics, love,science, art, philosophy tend to be hot favourites over wine. Suddenly, everyone's Mahatma Gandhi..Socrates.... Jesus....Einstein......!!!
So there... if you're wondering whether there' a point to all this ...there is none!
I wrote this just because.
