Who are the best literary boozers? Does alcohol fuel creativity in artists? Name your favorite drink to start.

Kuba Libre.
>>7725230
Hooch was already taken.

>Does alcohol fuel creativity in artists?
Probably not.
Probably the two most notorious absinthe drinkers.
>>7725223
Missed Hunter S. Thompson off there.
And yes. It frees the tongue but the results arent always flattering.
>>7725223
Where the fuck is Carver?
Kerouac. He was a margarita man.
>>7725315
He was more of a sweet port wine man I believe.
>>7725223
Why is Lowry not on this list? He was a better writer than all but two of them, and he drank more than all of them
>>7725223
Fugg Joyce looks so hot in that photo
Whos the lass?
>>7725455
Dorothy Parker.
shakespeare and baudelaire smoked weed
weed is best
joyce was a pleb who hated red wine
who's under F Scott?
>>7725223
I doubt it fueled creativity. Many writers, including those pictured, used it to cope with mental issues, or problems in their lives, rather than something to write on. I know Hemingway didn't typically write drunk.

>write drunk, edit sober
He was blustering. Most of the time when he actually talks/write about his process, he doesn't include being drunk. In A Moveable Feast all he ever mentions is a couple beers while he writes, and that mostly seems to be so he could hold a table for the time. In his later Paris Review art of fiction interview, he doesn't include drinking as part of his process at all.

Dylan Thomas.
FYI Joyce worked sober all day and then got drunk at night. With a strong preference for white wine.
>>7725600
DFW smoked weed as well AND HE KILLED HIMSELF
DRUGS ARE BAD MKAY
PSA: Alcohol is bad for your health and you should not ingest it in any form!
>>7725223
>no dfw
come ooooon
>>7725680
he should have got that high cbd strain that pynchon smokes to produce real masterpieces
This beautiful human specimen.
>>7725680
DFW was a huge alcoholic in his twenties, right?
>>7725700
>that high cbd strain that pynchon smokes
Any source for this?
>>7725248
Depends on the person.
>>7725230
Are you pissed still that you can't take a shot without getting smashed?
>>7725223
I don´t really wanna opine on this but get that talentless hack Bukowski from that picture and add Malcolm Lowry.
>>7725223
calling Bukowski "literary" is a bit of a stretch.
>>7725298
Burroughs was a filthy junky and a raging ass bandit who came from money before he was a drunk though.
>>7725223
Whiskey in all of its varieties and spellings, neat at room temperature. Single malt scotch is the best but I'm too poor to afford that shit most of the time.
>>7727846
are you... me?
>>7727846
Get me some o' that fine Knobb Creek
>>7727846
Evan Williams (Green Label) is an awesome bourbon that you can sip straight (no ice or water needed). And it's super cheap.
>>7725223
Fitzgerald, Parker, Joyce, and Williams are boozers. The rest are alcoholics.
>>7728481
I can sip any whiskey straight. Rye is slightly harder, but still doable.
>>7729820
>Fitzgerald was not an alcoholic
I'm not sure you're right about that.
>>7729862
Obviously all of them were alcoholics strictly speaking, but Fitzgerald/Parker/Joyce/Williams were people you might have had a legitimately good time with. Faulkner and Hemingway would just have depressed the shit out of you, and Bukowski would have ended up giving you bedbugs somehow. Can't speak for the rabbi or whatever irish blowhard short story writer is center-left, since I don't recognize them
>>7730067
You mean Dylan Thomas and John Berryman?
