Yet not a single typo in sight; you must be pretty good at maintaining your expressive faculties when inebriated!

PFFFFT... I'm willing to bet he probably just skulled 2 beers, too fast and presumed that's what drunk is.

You guys don't know what drunk is... although neither do I. I'm scottish, so no matter how much alcohol I consume, I remain as sober as I am - but my accent gets thicker.     ;D

There's a famous quote from a jazz soloist, I disremember which one, who when asked how he could play so well drunk, replied, "You have to practice drunk."

It's been attributed to Keith Moon but, like so many other famous quotations, it's also been attributed to quite a few others aso I'm not sure who thought of it first or whether or not he/she was drunk at the time...

Plastering when drunk is, however, not recommended.

The Comet is Hinty's local pub.

He always goes there for a few beers on a Friday night then staggers home.

I'm not.  And I don't think I ever want to be again.  I also just don't seem to enjoy alcohol in general, not even in tiny quantities.

You are far better off that way.

Although, I must point out that tiny quantities of alcohol don't do much for anybody.

I think a pint or two of "Old Peculiar" would change your mind.

The taste is divine.

I'm sorry but it wouldn't; it might change my stomach temporarily and it would undoubtedly enhance those reflexes that would enhance my ability to throw up, but that's about it, I'm afraid. The taste is "di"sgusting - to any unreformed and unreformable person like me, at least...

A distinguished organist of my acquaintance (who is quite a fan of very fine real ales) once told me that I'm wasted living where I do as I don't drink beer or cider. I replied that there's always Hereford gin, although I have to confess that I've yet to try it (it's very well thought of but also blindingly expensive).

I realise that you're not addressing that question to me but I have to admit that I wouldn't have a clue because I don't do Facebook (or indeed any of those other "social networking" facilities except LinkedIn and I do very little there either).

I am not a big social media fan and while I see the value of LinkedIn I don't seem to be able to get familiar with it.

However, I have noted a number of incidents where friends or family members have posted to social media after having imbibed, and their intemperate (pun) comments have caused lasting damage.

I doubt ahinton said that while doing one of these head moves....




(I was going more for the head move than the fingers.  The fingers start moving the effect in a different direction.)

No, it's as if you're incapable of understanding the application of the phrase "one man's meat is another man's poison" to humour; not everyone will find the same things humorous and it would be not merely a dull but also a most unpleasant world if everyone did...

Tuesday was Armistice Day, commemorating the end of WWI, in many countries. 

Some countries, such as the US, have renamed it Veterans Day.  In the US it is a Federal holiday so I had the day off.
