I will wait till some people post before giving my opinion, which I will steal from one of the posters I imagine but maybe not.

Is this in any way shape or form based off the "greatest dunk" thread... cuz this was a common mistake on that thread.

George Best.

Let's face it, a great looking guy, brilliant footballer, and he screwed all the best looking girls.

Dated two Miss Worlds? Oh yea!

And the fact that he was able to turn up for Man United First Division matches 10 minutes before kick off after a heavy night out and still outplay everyone says something...

Oliver Reed.

No further debate is needed.

Would it matter if it was?

Hunter S. Thompson.

Charles Bukowski

In history, I would have to go with:
1. Ben Franklin
2. Edgar Allan Poe
3. Winston Churchill
4. Ernest Hemmingway

and fictional, I would say Homer Simpson.

I say all the Sailors of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.

At this time I would recommend that everyone interested in British History or the Royal Navy read "To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy shaped the modern world".

The Grog was watered down...........

Winston Churchill or Micheal Utting.

This country is far too hot to live in. Don't EVER come here Harlesburg. Stay in NZ with all your beautiful hills and lack of australian culture.

Sir John A. MacDonald.

I'm a pretty good drunk myself...

Yea but you have to remember the rum.

Did you accidently put an incoming im in your post or something?

Sir John A. MacDonald.

Has Air Farce/22 Minutes/Rick Mercer done a skit on that yet?

I don't watch much television anymore.

That's what I thought too.

This one guy I know. He's probably 22. He aint very big, probably a little smaller then average size. But DAMN can he drink a lot....makes me look like a pansy...when I usually outdrink most of the people. And the worst part is I've never seen him get sick no matter how much he drinks.

dean martin

those other guys are just drunks. dean had class.

No it was completley deliberate.:D

Shouldnt you be a little bit older than September 2005?:confused:

Shane MacGowan

You might be remembering me from my pervious name, Har Akir. Which was unfortunately deleted while I was in the hospital for a year and a half. But you're probably thinking of one of the other nameless, like Cannot Think Of A Name, or Allthenamesarereserved.

edit: probably Cannot think of a name, since we have similar ideology.

F that.

The entire "Rat Pack" were a gaggle of douches, and talentless hacks.

Except, Sammy Davis Jr.


Greatest drunk?

Oscar Wilde.

Keith Moon.

Greatest drunk: W.C. Fields. "I certainly do not drink all the time. I have to sleep you know."


Honorable Mentions:

Dean Martin
Dudley Moore
Foster Brooks(there's an obscure name for you comedy buffs)

Winston Churchill.

But you do have that cool Frank Sinatra quote-

"I feel sorry for those of you who don't drink. When you wake up, that's the best you're gonna feel all day."

The only credit to Sinatra, I will grant, is that on a few occasions, certain places wouldnt allow Davis, or Jerry Lewis, in thier clubs.
Sinatra would jump to the defense of Sammy, or Jerry Lewis, and no one said "no" to Frank.

For that, he earns a bit of respect.

Barney (http://www.waluga.de/simpsons/Barney4.jpg) :)

Even though I loathe this guy, I have to give him an honorary mention

MATTI NYKÄNEN

Guy who won everything in ski jumping. he was so superior that he won even when he jumped 2 per mille alcohol in his blood.
And his famous quotes like:

"What is not done, cannot be undone"

"Living is life."

"Pussy is always on my mind, but let's jump first" (when a reporter asked Matti what he has in his mind)

"Living is the best time of a person."

"Every time I jump and get to the ledge, I get that 'bon voyage' feeling. I mean it's like I've been through this before."

"When you're going for a jump, you're all by yourself. You have to make your own decisions yourself. Up there you're completely up yours."

Sid Vicious. The man was a living circus act.

C'mon people, why has no-one said the greatest sot of all time:
Boris Yeltsin

When wasn't he pissed?


Honourary mention must go to Atilla the Hun would drunk so much on his wedding night he died.

I'd have said me, but after recently thrown up after five pints, I'm too busy being ashamed (OK, it tasted dodgy, but still...)

So I'll have to go with Homer Simpson.

Peter Griffin.

Shane McGowan.A living (don't know how) legend.This man once when asked what he tought about heroin replies 'Its not so bad'.Has never been knowen to have spent a day un-sloshed.I don't mean Sinatra cool drunk I mean PISSED.

But given that Vicious spent most of his time on heroin, and Thompson on weed and blow, I'd rule them out.

McGowan and Bukowski would have to fight it out. It's a toss up.

Peter Griffin.

Man, that's too easy. You have to put some effort into it, at least! :p

I'd pay to see that fight.There could be no biting though.Maybe some gumming by Shane.:)

Frances Farmer. She was such a drunk that they had her institutionalized.

And she will have her revenge on Seattle.

Well, Sid was piss-drunk virtually every time he was wacked out on smack, so...

Frances Farmer. She was such a drunk that they had her institutionalized.

Very few americans would qualify for this title.Social drinking Irish style would have you institutionalized over there.Just look what they talked Colin Farrell into..rehab for crying out loud..and for what having a few beers and a line or two before noon!!;)

Man, that's too easy. You have to put some effort into it, at least! :p
Hey, I did.

Peter Griffin > Homer Simpson.
Homer gets drunk, Peter gets wasted.

Does social drinking Irish style often result in indecent exposure arrests?

Hey, I did.

Peter Griffin > Homer Simpson.
Homer gets drunk, Peter gets wasted.

Hahaha, true. That one where he got wasted in under ten seconds at the Pawtuckett Pat Brewery was the best. You know, where he was nude...

Lol. Does social drinking Irish style often result in indecent exposure arrests?
Only on quite weekends.Have been lifted three or four times in my youth.Not for indecent exposure though.Mainly for pissing in public, minor asault of a bouncer that sort of thing nothing too serious.Friend of mine got pulled out of the river 4 times in one night though.aAlll he wanted was a quite night dip.:)

Hahaha, true. That one where he got wasted in under ten seconds at the Pawtuckett Pat Brewery was the best. You know, where he was nude...
Or at that wine tasting party where no one told him he wasn't supposed to swallow the wine.

"Hey hey, where the hell is that Peter Griffin? He told me he'd give me a hundred dollars if I took off all my clothes off. "

Greatest drunk: W.C. Fields. "I certainly do not drink all the time. I have to sleep you know."

Dean Martin

Good Picks. I agree completely.

Yeah, but his quote from the Pawtuckett version hits you like a freight train hitting a brick wall: *Peter says some random things, then cries* "WHY DO YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES WHEN WE MAKE LOVE!?"

Rasputin!

Rasputin!
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on



My money's still on Boris. Who else can lay claim to sitting on a tank pissed AND ruling a country pissed. I bet Churchill never did that.
Speaking of WWII leaders, Roosevelt used to down quite a few martinis a day I seem to remember.
I love that scene in the Simpsons when Homer takes a breath test. The light passes "Tipsy", "Soused", "Stinkin'" and hits "Boris Yeltsin", the highest setting.

Drunk's can be great!? This totally changes the formula I was using to discover the meaning of life.

Rasputin. He had a cool beard, banged a lot of chicks and was immune to bullets and poison.

Yes i was thinking of Cannot think of a name.

I had to track through this whole thread to figure out how I got involved in this, and I still don't understand...


A-nyway...

No one goes with the Bukowski?

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

- Charles Bukowski

Forum hot button and he slips in drinking beer. Somebody's got to be for this guy other than me.

If we're talking the world's greatest living drunk then it has to be Shane MacGowan.
If we're not, then I'd say John Wilkes (the publisher after whom the Presidential assassin was named, before anybody says anything that.)

All great writers where drunks :P

Anyway I'd say August Strindberg, he wasn't just a drunk, he also hated women and children...I'm betting his corpse has been so properly imbalmbed from all the Absinth he had before he died, that if they'd dig him up he'd be as good as new...
