TOPIC - Due 6/16 - Alcohol

Assuming the world doesn't end on 6/6/06, just like it hasn't on every other occurrence of that date, your discussion here must concern alcohol. I'm assuming we've all got some experience with the stuff and can therefore write a first-hand ethnography of the American, English, or antipodean alky, but are also circumspective enough to have thoughts about liquor beyond 'I'M SO FUCKING DRUNK.' So pour yourself a glass of whisky and let's hear them.

Due date 6/16, local time. Word limit is 1,200. Get going.
