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)
| FEATURE | DRUNKARD(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 ;)

Hello, from a drunkard, who just quit! :)
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.
LOL... what a vivid description.Will make sure to check that out in delhi when I go there!
What a detailed comparison I say!! Good job machaan.. Not just Masab Tank you have made all kudimagans(drunkards) proud.
