Alchohol Induced Prose

[block75]

I think this was discussed on another board but just wanted to see if people find different results when intoxicated on various types of alchohol. My darkest writing seems to come from the consumption of absynth or vodka. I have never managed to conentrate enough to write while drunk through beer although I have had some classic conversations ;D
Jagermeister seems to be a writing endurance drink for me and would reccomend it for novel writing in the early hours

my best writing comes from stone cold sober and coffee.. but my best ideas come when Im drinking. Ive never experimented enough with different types of alcohol to truly answer this question appropriately. But it's a good question. Im a beer man, a cheap lite beer man. Always have been.

When drinking the brain opens up like a flower.. It's weird, all the connections and associations that start to fly in my brain. Sometimes my whole spine is just on fire with it all. Can be amazing. But-- at 41, there are prices to pay. And Im paying them.

Drawing is very different than writing. You need a steady hand. I'm kind of shaky anyway.

I've never drawn while drinking. I'm really not much on drinking anyway. Twice a year, or so, I like to blow it out and have fun, but it has to be a party-type environment with tons of people laughing and slamming them back.

My "Hippie Festival" is coming up in two weeks. I always drink there, laughing and dancing with thousands of drunk/high hippies. I have never seen a fight, or even a cross word.

I get my inspiration from OTHER places.

it's the editting after a session of 'drunken master' writing that gets on my nerves - although some good thoughts and lines have come from it. i wrote a story while drunk in spain that im still yet to decipher... giant moths eating tramps was the best i could work out...
