Possibly I am wrong here but I think the thrust of Wikiriwhis Business’ comments are that;
If your parents were drunk when they rooted then you are likely to become an alcoholic, for the roots of alcoholism are genetic.
If one takes that logic further, then the offspring of Greenie women are more likely, than others, to become alcoholic.
When one thinks of the likes of Stephanie Mills, one would have to be intoxicated to mate with her.

“BTW, ever done any study on the roots of alcohol addiction Mr. Farrar?”

The roots of alcohol addiction are genetic

Or was I missing some sarcasm?

Noted Bryce!

I had a great time checking out all the pubs in Dunners on my return late last year. There are some great places to go and have a few, and with a lot more atmosphere than bars I have drank at all over NZ. Highly recommended to all those Otagophobes!

The most glaring omission from David’s account of last night is the fact that nearly everyone he drunk with in Dunedin probably fit in some form or another under the label of “socialist”! He even took pleasure in generously paying for others’ drinks under the Marxist slogan of “from each according to their ability [to pay], to each according to their need [to drink]“.

The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy should just about have enough evidence to expel him. Hopefully.

[DPF: Bryce forgets to mention his delight in finding out how much I get paid by TVNZ, Radio NZ and NBR for various media activities, and as each round of cocktails would emerge he would toast thanks to NBR or TVNZ. Bryce toasting NBR surely warrants expulsion from the vast left wing conspiracy]

I think I saw you out last night actually, but I thought you wouldn’t want random blog commenters cramping your style

“Also in the group was a young Austrian socialist, who is here as part of her “masculinity studies” academic research. What a great research topic I thought – so she gets to study Kiwi males out on the town ”

So what have the current crop of “Kiwi males” got to do with “masculinity”, a trait that’s gradually by means of social custom in NZ, being suppressed in men and encouraged in women?

As well, that Austrian socialist would be hard pressed to find any evidence of it in any trendy student bar.

Good story though.

BTW, ever done any study on the roots of alcohol addiction Mr. Farrar?
