My Hero

Editor Frank Kelly Rich's bimonthly tribute to overdrinking -- the magazine Modern Drunkard -- is a 50,000-circulation glossy "about drinking and only about drinking, and not just drinking, but heavy drinking," he told the Los Angeles Times in January. Recent features included biographies of great drunks, a dictionary of bar slang, and a testimonial on how drinking cured one man's fear of flying. "The most accomplished people," Rich said, "have been drinkers," and he implied that people in the Middle East ought to drink more. Calling serious drinkers an "oppressed minority," Rich said he himself has about eight drinks a day, sometimes up to 30 (when he frequently blacks out). Said Rich's wife, of her husband's career, "When you find your calling, you have to go with it." [Los Angeles Times, 1-1-05]

O nosso blog tem o orgulho de incluir, a partir de hoje, na Secção "Completamente desnecessário" um link para a versão online da magnífica revista mencionada - Modern Drunkard. Um farol para nos guiar por entre as brumas deste Ethilicon turvo e nos levar, por bares nunca dantes vomitados, a novas talochas inspiradas.
