Like I said, it's not a period I'm particularly happy remembering, and if I ever acted like that again, I'd fully expect to be shot. These days, I'm far more involved with trying to be a good person, and far less concerned with being a streetfighter.

Training drunk was not something I did in those days. .....

Hope that provides some answers.

It seems interesting that there would be so MANY parallels in the experiences... the resulting wisdom and kindness and patience...(goodness?)

While I can not claim the lineage, the training and recreational research are similar. How about PRETENDING to be drunk?

Talk about dirty tricks, eh?
