Hells bells, I can understand just about anybody if I’m drunk, especially if their drunk.

*Discovered by getting drunk with a Latvian and a Mexican who both gave up on English after several beers.

In one of her books, cookbook author Lora Brody tells the story of a dinner party where she drank two strong mint juleps in succession before dinner. “By the time I got to the table, I could discussed any subject in any language with any person, living or dead.”
