2. Bad logic.

It could be that you can *never* form a cogent thought, and the alcohol just isn't helping any.

3. but what if you couldn't form a cogent thought before you started

drinking. maybe your not drunk yet, just stupid. :shrug:

4. True

But I did add the "drinking" qualifier. Let's assume that the drinking came first and is the singular condition.

7. Nah, if you can't

do that, then you might be just addle-brained or out of energy. Like I am right now. Did what I just said make any sense??? I'm not drinking. Whew! :shrug:

5. Well, I would answer this differently if I wasn't sober...

or am I drunk? Oh wait... I haven't been drinking. What did you say?

with a mind wherein a cogent sentence would find itself in coventry.

9. Yes. But the reverse isn't true.

In the very few occasions I'm drunk, I'm fully aware of the fact and able to form cogent thought.

11. Absolutely! Just like I was telling the missus the other morning,

when I looked at her shoe and I thought to myself, "Wow, is that all the world is? Just this floor?" and so I said to her, "Yep, you know, there is some of that", right? Goddamned Japs bombin' Pearl Harbor Bay and takin' all our towels and shit. And that's the truth, swear to God from my own lips.

12. Why is that bad?

13. Does anyone have a link to xulthar's airport posts from a few months ago?

Man was she drunk that day - her posts read like the end of 'Flowers for Algernon'. :rofl:

14. But when you are drunk, you

think all of your thoughts are cogent!
