Drunkard Vs Alcoholic

I constantly keep reminding my folks that I am not an alcoholic. I am a drunkard. For the uninitiated, these two terms describe two extremely different characters. I have been pretty jobless so let me present you the difference in a neat format. (Kindly ignore the blank space. Blogger behaves a little funny when tables are written in code and hey I'm sober right now)
































FEATUREDRUNKARD(Read me) ALCOHOLIC
SKETCH
SKETCH EXPLANATION

  • NEVER drinks alone

  • Keeps talking while drinking




  • PREFERS to drink alone

  • Goes into absolute silence once the first sip is downed


ETHICS

  • NEVER takes a sip without saying CHEERS

  • Makes a toast to people around him




  • Sniffs and licks the first sip without waiting for anybody

  • Raises the half-empty glass when a toast is made by drunkards


BRANDS

  • Anything with the radical "-OH" would do

  • Can drink Guiness beer and Padmavathi 5000 with the same joy

  • Hard liquor varieties may include Monitor whisky and Military Rum




  • Price must exceed $50 (Rs. 2000)

  • Pukes on smelling a bottle of Padmavathi

  • Nothing less than Johnny walker would do


LOCATION
Feels comfortable whether it's under a lorry or in a pub
Requires a good sofa and music
CAPACITY

  • Usually very high but,

  • Depending on location and distance from home, has an upper limit




  • Usually very low but,

  • Depending on (bad) mood, can down an entire bottle all alone


MIXING

  • Not required really. In fact,

  • Pepsi or Sprite might contaminate the drink!



  • Mixing with soda is a must. In fact,

  • Soda is the main component for an alcoholic with an 80:20 ratio


SUPPLEMENTS
  • Mandatory

  • Lower limit includes chips, crispies, chikki or even pickle

  • Upper limit includes grapes and chocolates



Anything other than Soda, Ice cubes or the Alcohol is an adulterant to the alcoholic
POST DRINKING(This is how the bottles would look)


NEXT DAY

  • Hang over

  • Enjoyment more during drinking but low the next day




  • No Hang Over

  • Enjoys to an optimum level before and after



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But one thing common to all those who consume alcohol is the fact that they never quit! They are ready for a drink any time and most importantly, they do not require a reason or an occasion to drink. I guess that's the "spirit" of it. So cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeersss ;)

jayan said...

hmm.. from the pics I think we qualify as Drunkoholics no???

@josh: To get Padmavathi 5000:
Visit majnukatilla or otramlines, 1650/18, DU. That's the haunted house that I told you about with the cheap rent because of the ghost story... catch any rick guy thats sleeping around and say: Oh bhenchoddh!!!(haryanvi jatt like emphasis a must) daaru kahaan milleggi bhosdike!@#$??.. He will then take you to this shady area(chances of being a redlight area quite high) where this big bosomed lady will pull out Dilli's finest from in between some ice lying around saw dust on the floor.
