Okay, today is Friday and like Sunday is made for rice, stew and when you have the money, chicken, Fridays are for late nights, clubbing and Saturday morning hangovers. Before going out today you may like to find out what kind of drunk you are (because I think it was either Atiku or Socrates that said an unexamined life is not worth living) and the University of Missouri at Colombia did the classifying by interviewing nearly 400 undergraduates from a large collection.
They were asked the amount of drinks they could take in one sitting and the result that was published in the Addiction Research and Theory categorized drunks into the following categories based on popular figures.
1.
Ernest Hemmingway.
This group of people were described as Ernest (pictured above) because the remain themselves after having had enough to drink and can still hold normal conversations that can convince people that they are sober and will most likely be betrayed by the smell of alcohol.
2.
Mary Poppins.
Although she is not popularly known as an alcoholic like Uncle Ernest in 1, this category of people because sweet, loving and considerate like Miss Poppins under the influence of alcohol. They go great lengths to help others have a good time and their pleasantness may begin to worry close friends.
3.
Nutty Professor.
This ones are something else. They go out for a drink as introverts with the timidity of a kitten and they somehow during the course of drinking become extroverts like the ‘Professor’ in Eddie Murphy’s Nutty Professor who needs a potion to become more outspoken.
4.
Mr Hyde.
Sadly they exist. This group turn into violent people when they have had too much drink and they end up disrupting things and hurt loved ones in the process.
