The Top 10 coolest alcoholics on television

Whenever I think that I should drink less alcohol, or maybe even stop drinking at all, being the television junkie that I am I immediately think about all those characters who make drinking look so cool on some of my most beloved shows. It's true, these people are so cool and popular, so funny and sympathetic, because they drink and are very nonchalant about it. They influenced and encouraged me in a bad way with their weekly antics over the years. But this should not be read as denying responsibility for my own actions please. But it really feels right to, with my first real entry after more than a year, - by keeping in mind the dangers and often sad realities of drinking at the same time - nethertheless honour all those loveable heavy drinkers on my favourite shows,

The Top 10 coolest alcoholic characters on television 

Honorable Mentions

I have been planning to do this list, and who would be in it and who in which spot, for at least two and a half years, so the honorable mentions are characters who didn't make the list because I had never watched their respective series when I first composed the list (but now I have). But they are definitely good enough that they would deserve a spot.

1. Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) on "Game of Thrones" 

Everybody's favourite dwarf - actually everybody's favourite character on the show - is almost always seen with a glass, bottle or animal hide full of (Dornish) wine in his hands when he's not whoring. Or when he's whoring. As always, I'm a little bit different than everybody else and he's not my absolute favourite character of all of them in the show. He didn't mean that much to me in Season 1, but by Season 3 he had grown on me. Anyway, this little drunk has the sharpest wit in the Seven Kingdoms, he speaks the truth when others don't dare, and he really likes to party. What could possibly be wrong with that?

Enough with Oscar guessing and Happy Birthday wishing - let's get to the good stuff!

The title says it all. I've started this blog in 2014, and last year I was not very active. My last posts were all Oscar and Golden Globes guessing, and I announced to write about how I did in guessing later - which I never did, there is no point to doing it now (for last season!), and there was not really much of a point to planning to do it in the first place.

I want to give this blog another try though, and I really want to find my own voice for it. There is one post I'll be doing soon that I've been planning to do for some time. Guessing Oscars and celebrating celebrities' birthdays... that's something everyone can do, and many people do it better than I. I guess that's the reason why I did it... and then I didn't do it anymore.
