It's a hoot.
Read some of the articles in the archives.


“The whole world is three drinks behind,”

Humphrey Bogart proclaimed in 1950. “If everyone in the world would take three drinks, we would have no trouble. If Stalin, Truman and everybody else in the world had three drinks right now, we’d all loosen up and we wouldn’t need the United Nations.”

He’d have been more honest if he’d said the world was about twelve drinks behind.

Bogart probably learned to drink from his upper-class but hard drinking parents. He carried the habit through a number of upscale academies and prep schools, managing to get routinely expelled for poor marks and a strong anti-authoritarian streak. Cast adrift at eighteen years of age, Bogart joined the Navy in 1918, hoping to see action in the Atlantic and a different kind of action in Paris. He missed the party by a month.
