Drunk poll. posted by Richard Seymour
Okay, time to finally announce the results of the poll I've had running down near the bottom of the sidebar. I asked you all to answer the following question: What kind of drunk are you? The answers were as follows:Sentimental: one glass of lager and you're best mates with everyone, you sad wanker. (11) 5%
Disputatious: one Tia Maria and you're the queen of logic, dispelling all foolish illusions (48) 24%
Peaceful: one glass ay whiskey and yer serene wi it all. (30) 15%
Crazy: one snakebite and you've got the old knob and arse out. (11) 5%
Mean: One Heineken and you've got your whole family pinned against the door with a python arm. (6) 3%
Rambling: One Pina Colada and the old days just come flooding back. Like the time when yer man... (14) 7%
Horny: One soupcon of punch and you want to fuck everything that walks, flies, hops, squats or swims (34) 17%
Oirish: One Guinness and you have everyone doing the Riverdance. (11) 5%
Meta-drunk: One vodka and you want to discuss the merits of being pissed. (18) 9%
British: One Hofmeister and yer out on the terraces with the Stanley Knife. (4) 2%
Depressed/Resentful: One Martini and you sink into despair, bitter self-loathing and loneliness. (15) 7%
Interestingly the two frontrunners haven't changed for some time. Most people prefer to admit to being disputatious or horny, while by far the most unpopular choice (I am glad to say) is the 'British drunk', followed by the 'Mean drunk'. A pleasing number of you are meta-drunkards, but please let's not discuss that (we'll have no meta-meta-drunks in this bar, thanks).
On the whole, there isn't a gang of pissed bastards I would rather share my Tomb with. However, please keep the place tidy. If you have to urinate or vomit, kindly do it round Harry's Place, the bar for bigots and dinner party imperialists. This is a respectable establishment.
A new poll will begin shortly. Most suggestions will be considered.
