JCW made me think about this with her comment about Twain being a raging alcoholic. It seems that a lot of really great writers have drinking problems. I am now thinking that the problem isn't that I am a shitty writer, but that I don't have a big enough drinking problem.
Any ideas on how I can go about becoming a high functioning alcoholic? I don't want to end up such a drunk that all I can do is post on message boards all day like they're the be all and end all, so this needs a careful approach.
TIA

From what I've seen, you're supposed to put it in a water bottle so everyone thinks you're being healthy and drinking water when in reality, you're getting gooned at 9:30am.

Do some coke. A lot of people really like to drink when they're on that shit.

Or break up with your girlfriend and get into a deep, dark depression. Or just get drunk and start banging as many chicks as you can. Give yourself a goal. The more drunk you (and they) are, the more likely you'll reach said goal. Not only will you get trashed enough to write, you'll also be getting laid. It's a win win situation.

Doesn't coke make you paranoid? I'm already pretty sure about 3 people are following me around on forums. Not to mention that Ford Focus that parks next to me every fucking day :ph34r:

Whiskey always cleared up writers block for me. Or acid. Not at the same time though.

See I bought me some 18yr old Glenfiddich (cause it has to be legal age, right?) and had some before and during writing every night, and all I ever really got was sleepy.

Whiskey is good sappy and/or sad/depressing song writing stuff. Acid is the fucked up song writing.

Could always go the Samuel Taylor Coleridge route and go with opium.

I don't like coffee either.
Opium could work, though I will admit, I'm not a fan of it personally.
