Vertical Drinking
A Question for Tommy the Scot
The things that pass for public discussion in the UK often surprise me.
That shouldn’t be possible, because I should update.
But, for example: “Vertical drinking.” Some bureaucrats have their lacy undergarments in a ravel over the fact that…people are standing up at pubs.
I’d think this should be useful, a fail-safe. You can ONLY buy a drink if you can still stand. But….well, someone might get hurt.


Here’s a link to the song “Off the Record” from the movie “Yankee Doodle Dandy”:

Horizontal drinking just doesn’t work.
