No-one's said sh*t-faced.
And is "(has had) one/a few too many" something that I or someone I know made up? |

I am reminded of the Ottoman Sultan Selim, whose epithet was 'the Sot'.
Are there no teetotallers in Turkey ? |

It was, and no doubt still is, commonplace for students to get really drunk and urinate on his grave, by way of protest I guess. |
Interesting, can I be in your quiz team? |

Now then dullards.
The stuttering alcoholic story has never been proved but the alcoholic in question was in a church in Acron Ohio, long before you were born.
Have a look at aahistory.org |

He was attending one of the first AA meetings.
He was not from England, sorry dmb, the UK.
I hope he stayed for the duration of the meeting.
Uni of Central Lancs, well it must be better than Turkish unis. |
