Modern Drunkard

Recommended Posts

A magazine dedicated to a select readership of old soaks, barflies and inveterate long-lunchers.

 

In a market already boasting countless titles for minority interests, Modern Drunkard has found a surprising niche. The motto of its 38-year-old editor, Frank Rich, is taken from the writer Charles Bukowski: "When you were drunk, the world was still out there, but at least it didn't have you by the throat."

Alcoholics Anonymous workers hate the magazine. In Denver, a volunteer with Cares, which provides refuge for street drunks, said angrily: "Come down here and I'll show you some modern drunkards."

 

 

"We're trying to convince Americans that there should be no guilt attached to being drunk," Rich said. "America's economic golden age in the 1950s took place when it was commonplace for businessmen to down three large martinis at lunchtime.

 

 

"A lot of the time, it is alcohol which helps us to function in difficult circumstances. Look at Churchill. He was more or less drinking all the way through World War II. If you took any list of the greatest politicians, writers and artists that the world has produced, you'd find it dominated by functioning alcoholics."
