Nice girls finish drunk.

in bizarre, I am totally overrated, I'm not really full of mosquitoes, no one thinks this is funny but me, Post that people who don't twitter won't get, Posts that will get me hate mail, Random Crap, Titles that will attract drunks.

People always tell me I shouldn’t give money to homeless people because they’ll just buy booze with it and I understand that but I’ve been giving money to the homeless for years and if  we all stop giving hobos money then the liquor stores lose and that’s what causes a recession.  Then we’re all fucked.  Nice work, homeless people. Now I can’t get a car loan because you ruined the economy.

That’s why now I just give my money straight to the liquor stores.  And I get liquor in exchange for that money.  So now I’m stabilizing the economy, saving the homeless from themselves, and I can make wine slushies.  It’s kind of a win-win except now I think I might be an alcoholic.  I blame the homeless.

PS.  I wonder if this is how those drunken homeless people get started?  Maybe they’re just trying to heroically stimulate the economy and then a year later they’re living under a bridge talking to themselves because they’re too drunk to use twitter correctly.  Those people are fucking saints.

PPS.  I just took that online test to see if I’m an alcoholic.  Turns out I’m a cocker spaniel.  That’s fucked up.

PPPS.  Victor says I accidentally took the “What kind of dog are you?” test.  Still, you hardly ever see drunken cocker spaniels so I’m pretty sure that proves something.  Victor says it proves something too.

PPPPS. Fine.  I took the “Are you an alcoholic? test” and it says I answered one too many of the questions “yes” so I “might have a problem” but technically one question asked you drank because you were shy and another asked if you drank to increase your confidence and THOSE ARE TECHNICALLY THE EXACT SAME QUESTION.  So I’m pretty sure this is a trick test and that only real alcoholics would be so drunk that they wouldn’t recognize that they are totally answering the same question twice and that if you’re sober enough to realize that this test is fucking with you that means you probably aren’t drunk enough.  So, yeah.  I win.  And I’m a cocker spaniel.  This is the best day ever.

Comment of the day: I just took the test, only I pretended it was about drinking lemonade.

Apparently I’m totally addicted to lemonade. ~ CyraEm

  6. I want a wine slushy. And a cocker spaniel. You can keep the homeless drunk though…I’m kind of a germaphobe.

  8. >I do not think you are shy or inconfident

    I read that as incontinent. It still made sense 🙂

  9. No joke, I am an alcoholic. I used to drink Bacardi 151 by the shot glass. And I carried a flask of it to pour into my drinks. I could have died. I had some fun times, though. In the end I’m glad I changed. I don’t judge those who don’t cause I know it’s fun and flat out hard to stop when you’re stressed out. Not a day goes by I don’t long for a drink.
    Anyway, I went to rehab and relapsed many times. Then I became Mormon. Now I’m too afraid to drink, lol. (I sneak some Mt. Dew here and there)

  10. So which saints are these homeless people fucking? I’m not a catholic but I’m pretty sure that screwing homeless people is not regarded as proper saintly behaviour. Or maybe it is?

    Bet it was St Suspiria. She’s such a floozy.

  11. oh gawd. I love wine slushies. we made them by accident this one time in my best friend’s boyfriend’s parent’s basement…yea you can see where this is going. We hid the box o’ wineage in the freezer -cause apparently parents don’t look in freezers? -and we forgot it in there. later that night, we busted open that bad boy and ate the wine with sporks right out of the bag. best discovery ever!

  13. Uhm I tried to make rose popsicles and it wasn’t a success… but the slushy rose definitely tasted good. I feel sad for homeless people because in summer they can’t make alcoholic slushies, they can only do it in winter and that’s not nearly the same. I’m not taking the test.

  14. I just took the test, only I pretended it was about drinking lemonade.

    Apparently I’m totally addicted to lemonade.

  17. Oh, I like cocker spaniels. And wine. And champagne, too. And, since there are no visible homeless in the back…er….tiny town in Wales, I get to buy all the alcohol for me.

  18. Jenny Jenny Jenny…it is perfectly clear to me that:

    a. You are just kick starting the alcoholidays

    and/or

    b. You are consuming “tolerance juice” so that you can spend time with your family without anyone getting rabies because you bit them [after all, you ARE a cocker spaniel].

    There is no reason to be concerned about how much you drink. The “Are you an alcoholic” quiz is another example of Victor fucking with the interwebs to feed his desire to be right about everything.

  19. My best friend in high school had a cocker spaniel and it was always pulling her Mom’s pads out of the trash in the bathroom and eating them in the living room. The dpg’s name was Mickey. Mickey died a few years later from eating a bunch of cleaning products.

    Or maybe it was anti freeze.

    They also had a potbellied pig named Liza Minnelli.

    There house was a whole lot of AWESOME.

  20. I’m not sure which one it is. Do I read your blog too much? Am I too drunk? I dunno…all I know is Drunk Cocker Spaniel makes PERFECT sense to me.

    Dear Santa, these christmas holidays I’d like to be a drunk cocker spaniel who doesn’t just fall over in the gutter and ask you for money, also marks her territory on the nearest fire hydrant and chases her tail on the dancefloor.

    Totally epic.

  23. “Maybe they’re just trying to heroically stimulate the economy and then a year later they’re living under a bridge talking to themselves because they’re too drunk to use twitter correctly. Those people are fucking saints.”

    And I bet if they took the “which dog are you” test they would be Saint Benards. With a barrell around their necks. And on the barrell would be three little X-es which in cartoon language means alcohol but we all know that barrell is filled with porn.

  25. Tell Victor to back off because “the Cocker is known to be a sensitive dog, mentally and physically. He has a “soft” personality and does not respond well to harsh treatment, sometimes turning to growling or snapping when he’s in pain or afraid.” It’s not your fault. You’re just choosing to drink instead of snapping and growling. I’m pretty sure you qualify as a saint at this point.

  27. What sucks is I used to be really nice to panhandlers, but since I’ve been working like 70 hours a week, I get all flustered when they ask for money. I start wanting to lecture them on the virtues of hard work and buying your kid all kinds of crazy-ass presents and being broke and tired but happy so no you can’t have any damn money dammit, i just blew another grand at amazon.com. again.

    Sigh. I should go back to being nice. This new hard-working me sounds like such a bitch. But I’m pretty drunk too, so there’s that 🙂

  28. Why else would people drink except to increase your confidence? I mean, are there people out there who drink because it tastes good, like cookies? If so, wouldn’t they just eat a cookie? That’s a stupid test.

  31. The fact that you actually TOOK the test while under a bridge kind of proves that you’re an alcoholic be default.

    Either that, or you’re an alcoholic’s pet Cocker Spaniel.

    Either way, you’re living under a bridge and how fucking cool would THAT be?

  34. If homeless people ask me for money for a bus ticket or a cup of coffee, I assume they’re lying. But if they ask me for money because they say they need a drink, I give generously, because I can relate to that.

  36. You wonder how those drunken homeless people get started? I strongly suspect it all starts in the men’s restroom at blogher.

  37. At least Cocker Spaniels are cute! Alcoholics, not so much. You have to ignore those online tests though. I once found one that was supposed to tell you if you had swine flu or not and it said I totally did. And then it congratulated me. For having swine flu. What the hell is that?!

    It was completely wrong by the way. I didn’t have swine flu.

  38. You didn’t say anything about wine in a box. Or, as some of my friends refer to it…”Mommies juice box”. Well, it’s made from grapes, so it’s a fruit serving. It’s a health food! And you can slush-a-tize it! Why is that bad? Oh wait…grapes and raisins aren’t good for dogs. In fact I am pretty sure I read they will cause death. Therefore I believe the two would be mutually exclusive. You could not be a cocker spaniel and drink wine slushies…and be alive. So maybe if you were a zombie cocker spaniel, we would buy in. Otherwise, you are just being rediculous.

  39. I was going to take that test but I fell asleep next to my secret boyfriend, vodka and cranberry juice (which might technically be two boyfriends-not so secret because clearly they know about each other), and when I woke up my laptop battery was dead, under a bridge, and a cocker spaniel was peeing on it. I give up.

  41. You have confirmed my suspicions that this blog is really written by a cocker spaniel, see I’m like a genius because I knew all the time. Then again I still give money to homeless people, particularly if they say they are going to by liquor with it, but I’m selfless like that.

  44. I agree with Brant, if a homeless person just straight up tells me they want some booze money I am three times as likely to give them real cash. In fact one time after a superbowl party I was moving and had a whole fridge of light beer that I was never going to drink so we put it all in a big black garbage bag and gave it to some hobos that lived around the corner. Happy superbowl, homeless people!

  46. I keep taking the IQ tests online. The results are never good. I’ve tried to become a mensa member more times than I’d like to admit. Online tests are the devil, and I’m pretty sure he’s an alcoholic… therefore, if online tests are the devil and the devil is an alcoholic than all online tests have their basis in alcoholism. So your result of being positive for being an alcoholic cancels out with the fact that the test itself by its very nature is an alcoholic which leaves you with your original result of being a cocker spaniel. But if that test is alcoholic in nature as well… then you’re just fucked and apparently, a grapefruit. And I’m a fucking genius.

  49. Dude, I answered 3 questions yes and it said my drinking is harmful and possibly related to alcoholism. OF COURSE I DRINK BECAUSE I’M SHY but I answered no the one about confidence because I knew it was the same question and I said “fuck you quiz, you’re not double-jeopardy-ing me.” But I also said drinking messes with my sleep but there is no follow up question saying “If yes, did you stop drinking during the week because you like your sleepytime?” Because I did.

    So now we’re all drunks and I’m probably a chihuahua. A lazy one.

I just watched Intervention last night, and now that I am an expert on alcoholism, I believe it is safe to say that alcoholics wouldn’t seek out and willingly take a quiz to see if they are an alcoholic.

  60. I read somewhere that Cocker Spaniels cause the most dog bites. Make sure you dont start biting people. Although, you could use the drunk excuse and not the “I am a cocker spaniel” excuse. Although, both are good.

  63. Oh, and another thing. The quiz SHOULD have ended thusly, at least for me:

    If you answered “only because my husband is an asshat” to more than one of these questions, you TOTALLY DON’T have a drinking problem.

    Is drinking making your homelife unhappy? Only because my husband is an asshat.

    Does your drinking make you careless of your family’s welfare? Only because my husband is an asshat.

    Do you crave a drink at a definite time daily? Yeah, when the asshat gets home from work.

    You see where I’m going with this…
    .-= Robynn´s last blog ..Almost Famous…. =-.

  65. “Do you crave a drink at a definite time every day?” Fuck yeah. Whenever I get home from work! Actually, when I get on the train, I crave a drink. What kind of stupid questions this test asks? “Does drinking affect your reputation?” Well, drinking does make me popular. NOT when I was in high school, but NOW. Screw the test. I am surprised it told you you are a cocker spaniel. Probably the word COCK is in it. I for one, if asked such a dumb question “what kind of dog do you think The Bloggess is?” and after I clobber the ask-er with my beer bottle, I would say a Tibetan Mastiffs, ’cause baby, you are worth it. Plus, you are like Mother Teresa, right? So you must be like the Dalai Lama too… Just doing some free word association…

  70. Oooh. Wine slushies? You have MY attention.

    My son just finished up and on-line course and the final exam was 79 multiple choice questions, many of which featured “All of the Above.” He soon discovered that whenever “All of the Above” appeared, that was the correct answer. The screwy part of this was that “All of the Above” was not always at the bottom of the list. In fact, it showed up as option A at least twice. Now THAT is a tricky test. And one question actually asked what form of cocaine was more popular because it gives you a quicker high. My tax dollars at work.

  71. As a long time fully functioning alcoholic I just want to say I’m proud of you Jenny and welcome to the elite.

    By the way, I’ve been studying for that quiz for many years now but I still lack the confidence to take it. Maybe I should have a few rum and cokes first. Just to settle the nerves of course.

    HEY!I CAN STOP WHENEVER I WANT!! GIVE THAT BOTTLE BACK TO ME!

  73. What a stupid test.
    “Do you ever feel remorseful after drinking?”
    REALLY?! What’s the point of drinking if you don’t do crazy effed up shit?! It’s called Texts from Last Night… I guess they should all be in AA too?!
    Pshhhhh Whatever, about.com. You know nothing ABOUT it.

  74. So I took the test, and there needs to be more than Yes/No. How about “A Little Bit, sorta sometimes when my husband is an ass or I’m in a bitchy mood to start with?” Because I kept saying “No,” even though it was kind of yes, which I think means my denial is pretty serious, and I probably am an alcoholic after all.

  76. I get that, too. “He’s just going to buy alcohol with it.” Duh. That’s why I’m giving it to him. And not giving it to him does not a non-homeless, non-alcoholic make. My refusal to give him money will only make him sober AND homeless. That’s no way to live. Buy the man a beer, people. Buy the man a beer.
    .-= MayoPie´s last blog ..Love me, love my butthole =-.

  77. I just took that quiz. I answered “yes” to 5 out of 20 questions. According to John Hopkins, I might be an alcoholic if I answer “yes” to 3 questions or more. Dude, I get drunk maybe 4 times a year! Still, better go see the health professionals!!!

    I think the real problem is that I said yes to the question about drinking alone. That’s because I had a rum ‘n’ eggnog at dinner last night. It was just me and my kids, age 6 and 7. So they weren’t drinking rum. So I was drinking on my own even though I wasn’t technically alone. Online quizzes about alcoholism should understand these subtleties, shouldn’t they?

  84. I try not to judge the homeless either, but then I recall one incident that makes it extremely difficult:
    This homeless guy was begging on the corner and I, in a moment of generosity, waved a dollar bill (the only cash I had) out my window for him. He walked over, frowned, snatched the dollar and said “You people are really nickel-and-diming me today.” The fuck? I dollared you asshole! I dollared you!
    .-= mommica´s last blog ..Weekend List: Drowning =-.

  87. I’ll always remember this one homeless guy I emptied my coin-filled coat pocket to. He looked down in amazement and then asked me if I was sure I wanted to give all of that. Then he tried to give some back! He was concerned if I was going to have enough change to make it through the day (maybe I looked homeless myself? talk about bad hair days and what not to wear..) I’ll also remember him because he looked like Santa Claus. No joke. Even if they lie about why they want the money – I still give it to them. Sure they may go buy drinks. If I was homeless I’d sure as hell want one (or more). Why is my drinking more respectable than theirs? In fact, Drunk Homeless Person, I owe you some respect. You’re holding up the economy..er, sort of.. you’ve got more reason than most of us to take another sip…and you’re far less likely to be behind the wheel of a car when you do.

  88. YAY! I took that a couple of weeks ago because I was bored at work. I got 11 right!! I was so proud. I wish they had these kind of quizzes in school…I would have kicked ass. But I am pretty sure the xanax I take cancels out some of the questions…which is awesome.

  89. Forget the friggin test… I want to know how to make wine slushies !
    Oh… and the homeless lady with a kid whose bus ticket I offered to buy for her so she could get to her mom’s house so the baby wouldn’t be out in the cold without a real coat or anything… John may have been right… she might have been using the baby to get crack money… but I gave her the 20 anyway… or I made John give her his 20… same thing… and I bet she did buy a bus ticket after she got her fix cuz she really did have a kid and I hope she really did have a mom… That’s what Christmas is all about anyway, right?
    Don’t forget the slushie recipe… some of us with 6 kids — most of them snowed out of school for the week so we have to have them at home with us — could REALLY use one… for us or the kids… either way it works!

  94. Jenny did you know that even though I’m not an alcoholic, every time I get drunk everyone thinks I am. Apparently, when normal people casually drink, they don’t pee in parking lots of bars or even worse: Pee themselves when they ‘re vomiting.

    Also, I love when quizzes do that bullshit “YOU MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM” but really they’re silently judging you for being too mean to others (or apparently drinking too much) but think you’re too fragile to handle the truth.

    People who write these quizzes are the worst sort of people.

  100. When I was a kid my parents had a cocker spaniel. I wanted a real dog, but we got a cocker instead. We did not have this one very long because she was impossible to potty train and we had just moved into a new house. Everytime the dog would get excited she would pee and wag her tail causing a “sprinkler” effect. Needless to say this absolutely ruined the carpets. I can see a drunk person acting much the same way, except for the tail part, unless they are a drunk freak or something and actually have a tail, then it isn’t so bad because you could put them in the circus and make money and that would stimulate the economy. Problem solved!

  101. alcoholics have a problem with their drinking;
    you have no problem with it…right? Right..this would then qualify you as a functional alcoholic…way better.

    the most prevalent forms of alcohol posioning in dogs is actually from bread- you see the yeast not only gives them infections; but it actually gets them drunk; I think that you need to stop eating bread and passing out because those homeless dogs are drinking your drinks and pretending to be you – wigs n all.

    sober up puppy love, loves the blog – it continues to get better every day! i hope you have happy alcoholidays!!!

  104. You are so giving. How do you stand it? Just saving the economy like that, poof! And with your liver and penchant for boxed wine and fizzy coolers, no less. Marvelous. Simply marvelous.

    Oh, and HEY! I was flying from Moscow to Columbus and all hell broke loose because of the snow in DC and I got rerouted through JAPAN, and while I was there, when I wasn’t humming that Vapors song, I thought of you!

    Could you tell?

  119. I’ll take this online test, too, but only if there’s a companion “Are You A Pirate?” test, because I’m pretty sure that I hold my liquor so well that I’m well-qualified to be a pirate. That’s the working alcoholic who took to sea instead of bridges and I’d also look excellent in tattered stripes and swimming in piles of gold coins.

  120. I am dubious of any test where if you answered totally randomly, you would have 70 to 80% positive rate. It looks too sensitive and very non-specific .

  121. Did you know that every time I read your blog I start talking like you for at least an hour afterward? I realized this because I’m currently visiting with family for the holidays, and I was reading your blog and then 20 minutes later my mom was all, “Why are you talking about alcohol and using the f-word all the time? And what do cocker spaniels have to do with anything anyway?” And I’m all, “Will Smith was right – parents just don’t understand.” And she was all, “Understand what?” And I was all, “Exactly.”

    She didn’t talk to me for a good 3 hours after that, which would be great, except I’m one of the few women in the world who actually loves my mom a lot and we normally get along really well. So I was kinda sad. And I thought maybe I should stop reading your blog so I wouldn’t talk like you anymore, but then I realized you’re awesome and I love it when I talk like you, so instead I just decided I would only read your blog when I knew I wouldn’t be seeing my mom for at least two hours.

    I thought it was very important you know that story.

    And the DR. at the top who said something like you are only an alcoholic if you drink more than your DR.

    And I am totally drinking a glass of wine right now.

  130. If anyone told me I was a cocker spaniel, I’d freakin’ hunt them down and make them take it back. But that’s probably because I’m something more persistent and less cuddly than a cocker spaniel, like a rat terrier or a mangy cur.

  131. Well how retarded. You got Cocker spaniel…? I would have guessed poodle or at least a Pomeranian .

    My husband says there’s this “homeless” guy that guilts people into giving him cash outside of where he works but apparently he always has new clothes on. That’s fucked up.

  132. as an alcoholic, I thought “Nice Girls Finish Drunk” was really funny. Even if I wasn’t an alcoholic I would have though it was funny. Plus, I always thought it was ‘lamblasted’ too. Lamblasted sounds better and does make more sense.

  136. that quiz is totally fucked. why isn’t there a “sometimes” button? i’m totally drinking while i type this because i’m not taking this sitting down. ok, i am actually sitting down, but you get the point.

  138. Turns out I’m a huskey…

    …and an alcoholic? I blame the Irishman in me.
    (Even though I’m a woman.)
    (I now blame the Irish-migit-man in me.)
    (Fucking leperchauns.)

  139. Laughing my ass off. Love James Garfield, Jr. is going to eat your drunk cocker spaniel ass for lunch if you’re not careful!
    .-= Amy´s last blog ..Is… =-.

  142. I’ve taken that test before. I’m pretty sure it’s designed to make you seem like you have a problem. Like if you answer EVERY question negatory, it’ll still say, “you answered one too many questions ‘yes’, you’re a drunkard. Seek help.”

    plus I totally noticed that the questions are redundant and thought that was some bullshit!

    To be honest, though, I never took the test while drinking… That just seems like it’s asking for trouble!

  144. I’m late to the party on this post, but what the hell does this question mean?

    Q: Do you turn to inferior companions and environments when drinking?

    So if you are hanging out with me while I’m drinking does that make you an inferior companion? So by drinking I get to make people inferior or do they do that on their own? And by inferior environment, is that when I drink in the bathroom instead of the living room? So if I keep drinking in the same place with the same people, I don’t have a problem?

    I also don’t understand why it didn’t ask the most important question– Have you ever awoken after drinking and been unable to find your pants? That more clearly indicates a problem– like that you don’t wear a tight enough belt. Or maybe you are just a slut. Or you got too hot. Okay, so that question doesn’t help anything either.

  145. I answered three questions yes, and it told me I need to see a medical professional. I’ve had one drink since last january.

  146. I answered zero questions yes because I’m 15 so can’t drink and apparently I have a drinking problem. I think the test has been rigged by the medical professionals I have now been told to see.
