Dedicated to the Demon Rum and all her acquaintances

I drink, therefore I am

“Abstainer: A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. Ambrose Bierce, from The Devil’s Dictionary. 

Wino Wisdom (stolen, as always, from Modern Drunkard Magazine)

 “My wife never knew I drank until I made the mistake of coming home sober.”

Obscure alcohol factoid: In ancient Babylon, the bride’s father would supply his son‑in‑law with all the honey- based mead, or beer, he could drink for a month after the wedding. Because their calendar was lunar or moon‑based, this period of free mead was called the “honey month,” or what we now call the “honeymoon.”

This week’s hangover remedy:  Burnt toast. Your upset stomach is caused by the fact that it is overly-acidic. Toast will help neutralize the acid and settle your stomach, and the carbon on the burnt part will filter some of the impurities out of your system.

Obligatory Disclaimer: Constitution Club does not advocate dangerous or reckless alcohol consumption. This web site encourages only responsible drinking, though in certain circumstances, the well executed beer stand can be done responsibly.
