... do they have an RSS feed? This is from News of the Weird highlights which is a best of a subscription service but this story is so good I had to share it... You should subscribe, laughs every Saturday morning! from News Of The Weird 885, by Chuck Shepherd, January 23, 2005 * Editor Frank Kelly Rich's bimonthly tribute to overdrinking--the magazine Modern Drunkard--is a 50,000-circulation glossy "about drinking and only about drinking, and not just drinking, but heavy drinking," he told the Los Angeles Times in January. Recent features included biographies of great drunks, a dictionary of bar slang, and a testimonial on how drinking cured one man's fear of flying. "The most accomplished people," Rich said, "have been drinkers," and he implied that people in the Middle East ought to drink more. Calling serious drinkers an "oppressed minority," Rich said he himself has about eight drinks a day, sometimes up to 30 (when he frequently blacks out). Said Rich's wife, of her husband's career, "When you find your calling, you have to go with it." update:   well, they do have a website...Modern Drunkard Magazine Online... 9:56:55 AM    comment []
