    A lot of the above are ones you might consider as aggressive drunks, you wouldn't turn your back on them.

    Norm from cheers was a happy drunk.

    Always laughed at the following skits of Rowley Birkin QC

    There was no shortage of drunks in Trailer Park Boys :). Lahey, Ricky and Ricky's Dad all could vie for this award.

    Yes! This!

    I've been telling anyone who'll listen for years that that woman does the weather half cut most of the time.

    Why isn't this more widely commented on?
