Why is being an alky worse if you're a writer?

I've seen many screeds against Hitchens and a few others which have had their basis in opprobrium for the drinking aspect of their lives. Who cares? They are writers. Agree or disagree. If they want to write while drunk,... well, join the club. Poe, Joyce, Twain, and on and on. What counts is the words they write. Leave the poor, defenseless, thirst quenching, civilization starting, poor man's valium out of it, ok? ----------------------------------------- You can fire an at will employee for good cause or no cause, but not bad cause.

PS - dunno re. Kurt [May He R.I.P], but Miss Montana Wildhack and the Night Canopy bloody well didn't come from some Creative Writing class, and I doubt he was acquainted with Unseen University ... imagine though, a TP/Kurt collaboration [Had He Lived] arrayed about a Shrubby + The Neoconmen Saga, with Condescentia Rice-A-Roni as the wacky Love Interest. Eh? Only via suitable chemical er, accelerants, I wot.
