“Although I will never for the life of me understand how the fantasy got started that one can halllucinate cryptids on alcohol. What is the worst hallucination anyone here has ever had drunk?”

Well I do have extensive data supporting the “beer goggle affect” where by women who resemble primitive hominids are rendered into beings of stunning beauty by the hallucinatory effects of alcohol. There is also a non-gender specific affect; IE. beautifull drunken women may also be attracted to hairy knuckle walking males(like myself). Thank you God!

The “goggle” syndrome does not itself indicate that one would not in fact hallucinate cryptids but just that in general inebriation in humans tends to drive human interests towards exagerated standards of beauty and mating with reckless abandonment. Sort of bringing out the wild one that dwells within us all!

I’m a long time lurker and enjoy the site every chance I get. I’m posting here for the first time because there’s finally a topic I can chime in on… alcohol!

To Samson77, yes any distilled liquor that escapes the notice of the tax man (revenuer) can be called mountain dew. The still is hidden in remote mountainous areas to avoid detection and the “dew” is the product of the night’s work- in the same way the morning dew you see on grass is the mysterious product of the night before. The original ad campaign for the mountain dew soda pop featured cartoon hillbillies swigging from xxx jugs.

To DWA, severe DTs are often characterized by hallucinations, but more to the point here, sudden acute lead poisoning will absolutely cause hallucinations. The mention of bad whiskey in the article would be a reference to this, and would be immediately understood by readers from that area and time. The lead poisoning results from improper distillation, or from drinking alcohol out of pewter vessels.

Of course all this has nothing to do with Ol slippry skein, but I’ll stick to what I know. Well for the first pass round of the jug anyway… I won’t ask how many nips you got in ya, but mind you don’t get too far afield, you might not make it back to camp in that condition ; )

But the estimated size of the animal and the track size seem to conform with recent reports.

All you can say is: one more.

I’ll go first.

NONE.
