Chris,

  I'm not a "drinker" of "the hard stuff"...whether beer, wine, liquor,
whiskey, etc. The closest I get to that is talking about the skit done
by the comedy team Hudson And Landry years ago with "Ajax Liquor Store".
(They also did things like Ajax Airlines, Ajax Mortuary, The Prospector,
and deal on "Mutual Of Tokyo" with an expedition on "The Ramma Lamma
Ding Dong". <G>)...or the drunkard routines by Foster Brooks. Ironically,
I understand he was a tee-totaller (never drank alcohol).
