Speed!

I remember Hemingway writing about this. He was an expert drinker. He always said to pace yourself and that way you would be able to handle it much better.

Of course, he was talking about drinking all day, pretty much every day, as he got older anyway.

I recall a story about F. Scott Fitzgerald meeting Hemingway in Paris. Papa drank a lot and Scott tried to keep up. But he had hypoglycemia and could not process the alcohol as efficiently. Didn't keep him from trying. Spent a lot of time inspecting the shine on shoes under the table.

Churchill was another drinker who rarely got drunk. Some of us are just lucky that way.

Legend has it that Churchill drank a fifth a day during the war. I can't say I blame him - that was a tough job!
