The Drunkard’s Progress

   Posted by: Professor Gregory Allan Bass, DoGA, PhD (Hon)   in General Musings

This was an amazing little piece of art I came across while doing some research recently. It’s a lithograph by Nathaniel Currier during the extremely popular (note the use of highly sarcastic italics there) Temperance Movement in the United States. In honor of our second Drinking podcast, I pass this warning on to you.

 

Apparently they were not supportive of drinking? Also chatting and fun I believe...

 

I’m happy to say that our current active LGA members seem to be hovering around Step 5 so far… although the argument could be made that some of us have advanced to Step 6.

So is Step 5 a “functional alcoholic”?

We certainly like to think so. I’m pretty sure we do all qualify as “confirmed drunkards” on this very scientific chart…
