Well, who doesn't like a good strong drink now and then? Sure we drink to celebrate, drink to forget or simply drink because we can. Fun thing about drinking is it's a  fascinating look into human behavior. People can be categorized into different types of drinkers. Drinking can bring people together, tear them apart or even act like a sort of truth  serum. Amusing.

The first type of drinker is the party-hearty or otherwise known as an exhibitionist. This person has a few, maybe a few more and then can be seen dancing, dragging other people onto the dance floor and generally whooping up a racket. He or she can be calm even shy in everyday life but drinking unleashes the fun bug in them. Every party needs a party-hearty they are generally in good spirits and harmless.

The next type is the mouth-off. This person has a few and starts spouting off about this and that like all should listen. The mouth-off simply cannot control what they say and they can get into trouble easily with other drinking cohorts.

A more serious type of  drinker is the battle ax. This drinker is highly  inebriated and looking for a fight, beware. Whether you are flirting with her boyfriend or if he sees you talking to his girlfriend you might want to run for cover. A mean drunk is not someone you want to be around.

Another type is the sleeper. This poor  schmuck has just had one too many and can be seen falling asleep at the bar. Poor baby, someone should take him home to bed.

Then there's the Casanova. He thinks just because he's got liquid courage that you'll fall head over heels for him. He may be persistent, he may hit on you. Trouble with a Casanova is you never know what his true feelings for you might be because he could likely just be looking to get some at the time.

We can be a combination of any of the types of drinkers depending on mood and what we are drinking that night. If it's a really good night, you make it out of the bar with both shoes still on and you can remember who you talked to and what drinks you had. On not such a good night you end up rather green and sea-sick looking. Drinking can be fun, but we must always do it responsibly. Well, most of the time.
