This thread is born of whisky, classic movies and a slight bit of inspiration from Modern Drunkard magazine.
Who is your ultimate bender dream team? If you could go out, have a night on the town with any historical drinking figures, who would they be?
The optimal team is 4 people, feel free to add more or less though.
Me? Easy. Lee Marvin, Humphrey Bogart, Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson. Guaranteed to be a night of debauchery, perhaps a tussle or five, and we've got Bogey to pull the ladies.
I'd expect Marvin to go nucking futs at some point and start a brawl, with Hemingway leaving his Papa Doble to jump in for support. Thompson would be providing the intangibles, and inevitably we'd all end up blowing up dynamite and drunkenly firing shotguns at Owl Farm. Of course, this would be followed with a rousing night with the female company that Bogey brought with him.
Sammy Davis Jr 'cause he's the one I, the one I love. Plus you know he could drink.
Nancy Grace - something about and uptight southern girl on a bender.
The most interesting man in the world - for true.
Locke - mofo is president of the internet.
John Belushi
Andre the Giant
Robin Williams
Jim Carrey
Cool story about Andre. Back in the day he needed knee surgery or something. The docs had no idea how much anesthesia to give him because he was so big. So they got him ****faced before the surgery and figured out the dosage from that.

Peter Griffyn
