- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 4 days ago:
I remember stories from my dad about a guy he knew where the bar maid would have to help him with the first drink in the morning because his hands would shake so much.
The romantic history of the happy drunk is almost entirely fictional. I say almost because I know a few people who are able to take it or leave it, but for the most part the people I know/knew who were drinking either in bunches or daily end up complete and unabridged alcoholics, whether they are active and in serious trouble or have sought help and straightened up, but cannot touch it.

French style crepes, paper thin, with slices of ham and gruyere between them the first time, then maple syrup and/or whipped cream and berries the second time, to finish.

Nah that was to be sure things were presentable if a very important person came by. People like Jesus Christ or a resurrected JFK judging by the plastic never having moved an inch for forty years
