Why do we Scots (and Irish) have so many words for drunk? It's a mystery to me.

SoG, you could do me a favour by enlightening me on head the ball. I presume it has something to do with football but I'm not exactly sure what/how.

I'll tell you why, because we like to drink, and we believe there's no such thing as too much of a good thing. Because nothing really ever made sense to us, and as we grow older we realize that all the authorities figures in our life, the Catholic Church, the British Monarchy (or for us in America, the Government), minute differences between people causing so much violence, the worldwide epidemic and famine and pestilence, all of it. And when we drink, it all just kind of goes away.
