Slang/folklore for drinking

[megamania]

and some more-

beer googling (willing to accept "uglier" women after becoming drunk)

beer run





this reminds me of a shirt and a police officer I met in college. I had bought a shirt entitled" the ten most common lies in college" I was eating lunch with my father when several police officers read the shirt and asked how many of these were true-

1) I have more at my apartment
2) No officer, I have not drank
3) Yes sir, I'm over 21
4) You'll feel better in the morning
5) You're beautiful



and the others I don't remember....

I didn't take that pic, it was actually from a web site.

On a side note, I really dig all the crazy statues they made back before the interstate system was completed. Most are gone, but if you drive on state highways you still see a bunch of this kind of stuff. Just on Pendleton Pike alone there is a big cow and a big chicken in addition to that elephant.

On rt7 outside of Brandon Vt there is a car dealership that has a 20ft gorilla holding up an authentic VW bug. Been there for as long as I can remember.

Drunk:marinated (my personal favorite), wasted

soused, pickled, plastered, inebriated, drunk, stupified, slammed or slammered if it involves going to jail, tipsy, toasted

edit: blotto or blotted

It's well known that gorillas and VW bugs are natural enemies.

I once ran a short Middle Earth campaign involving two Hobbit NPCs called Tipsy son of Merry and Blotto son of Wino.

Any more old-fashioned folk tales? Like, I dunno, drinking beverage X on day Y is good luck? Or the hobgoblins who live in your house will do favors for you if you give them beer?

Just hear this last night from a co-woker from Puerto Rico.

As to why you clink glasses before drinking:

You can Smell the beer.

You can See the Beer.

You can Feel the Beer.

You can Taste the Bear.

But, unless you Clink glasses with another fellow at the bar, you cannot Hear the Beer, thus an entire one-fifth of your senses is depraved of the greatness that is beer. Then comes the silly part.

As long as you clink glasses, your Hearing will be pleased. If you neglect to Clink, your ears will get revenge the next day (a hang-over). Thus you can avoid a hang-over by clinking glasses.

There's the stereotypical "pink elephant" that you can only see when you're drunk..

Perhaps a pink dragon or a pink owl bear for a fantasy setting?

She's ten sheets to the wind.
He's in his cups.
He's with the faries.

There's a good list here:

Personally, I like fleemered, scuttered and saying hello to Mr Armitage.
