Some interesting comments developing in the Comments to the previous post, notably on the real pleasure of hatred when reading.(I really object to the one that says I was "over the top" in lecture. No effing way.
Update: I'm only kidding here! I mean that I am over the top on purpose-- and more to come ;--)
Another on Famous Literary Drunks, with a great Dylan Thomas anecdote. Let's start a collection. I add Brendan Behan: off the top of my head I remember he called himself "a drinker with a writing problem," and an obituray said he was "too young to die, too drunk to live."

No offence meant witht the "over the top" suggestion. I guess everyone has different opinions.
Dear Akshay: See post update -- I was being funny -- no offense taken!
there was one drunk who stands head and shoulders above all other drunks.
