Yes, you read the heading correctly. And now you can join in and be as politically incorrect as is possible, along with 50,000 others, by subscribing to Modern Drunkard Magazine.
According to the Julian Colman story appearing on the web at www.telegraph.co.uk, the magazine's success has prompted the editor, Mr. Frank Rich, to make plans for a British edition.
"We'll change some things in Britain," said Mr. Rich, "but the tone and content will basically be the same: a magazine by and for drunkards."
Mr. Rich believes the magazine's success is a reaction to the uptight nature of American society where beautiful people habitually choose water over wine at lunch. He also explains some history associated with drinking.
"We're trying to convince Americans that there should be no guilt attached to being drunk. America's economic golden age in the 1950s took place when it was commonplace for businessmen to down three large martinis at lunchtime.
"A lot of the time, it is alcohol which helps us to function in difficult circumstances. Look at Churchill. He was more or less drinking all the way through the Second World War. If you took any list of the greatest politicians, writers and artists that the world has produced, you'd find it dominated by functioning alcoholics."
I took a look at his website and it's interesting and humorous. Have a look at Modern Drunkard Magazine before you view the next posting.
