Greatest Drunks of All Time: Charles Bukowski

One of the greatest poets and a legend in the bar world, Charles Bukowski is the drunkard's hero. His life inspired the films Barfly and Factotem, and his approach towards writing and drinking was nothing less than epic.

There is nothing original here. Drunks are drunks, which I don't criticize, BUT, so many drunks think that the 'shit' that they offer is brillant, but in most cases it's just a lot of boring shit! I owned a bar, I dealt many times with guys like Charles, some were smart, some were actually genius, but few were happy. The life of booze leads to depression and disappointment, it's chemical. BUT, sometimes, it's the only thing that gets you through the night.

I feel an affinity with Buk,i found we both share a mutal love for alcohol & and i've grown up living in in the same household as a drunk (yes my mother is an alcoholic,Not that she would ever admit it so there is the first sign folks.)so i guess i've had some experience in the field when it comes to drink even though im not a full on alcoholic myself i've always been a borderline-alcoholic. Oh did i mention i love Buks writings also? Genius!

well put my friend.

at the end of the day, if he couldn't write, I wouldn't pay attention to him. The world is full of drunks that are boring and have no talent.

I cant take the 'great' poets i'm supposed to like seriously as they are so disconnected from me - this guy i get.
