Art and Science

I think drinking is both an art and a science. Let's start with the science part. It's pretty obvious - it's a simple ratio of alcohol to body weight. The larger the numerator (alcohol) the more trouble you get into.

The art part is more of...well...an art. The art part is when your ratio is out of whack and you're somehow able to pull it off without the world knowing the awful chemistry experiment going on inside your body.

Some would believe that artistic ability comes with experience, but like other types of art, I believe it's something you're born with. There are those people that, no matter how experienced, still can't pull it off.
