Buckfast and the Seven Drunks!

October 23, 2007

It has often amazed me the way how one oxygen atom, six hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms all connected together can affect humans in such an interesting way. Some use a particular combination of these atoms for pleasure others as a crutch. However I reckon the use of them as C2H5OH has at the very least seven different ways it can affect a human in excess:

1) Obnoxious

We all know those who become loud and generally get in everybodies road when they have had one too many. They think they are justified and right and there is no point in arguing.

2)Vomiting

Everyone knows someone who has had,”food poisoning”.

3)Depressed and Teary

“I love you”, you know I love you”, “listen, listen, you know I love you”.

4)Sleepy

Yes we all know those who have a habit of wanting to play the, “lets catch flies in our mouths game”.

5) Agressive

“Really i didn’t decide to kick the wing mirror off”, or “that tree just decided to spontaneously snap itself in two”.

6) Horny

These are the true legends of booze. They suddenly from two hours previously metamorphose from couch potatoe, doughnut king, “I honestly have no belly”, guru to James,”you really know I don’t want to sleep with you, but if I have too”, Bond.

7) Happy

These are a rare species at the extremeties of consumption but they just sit and smile.

It amazes me that one combination of 9 atoms can have at least seven different effects. That is truly a marvel of genetics!
