Good list, one notable omission, however - Time Travel: blacking out. "You're in a bar, you're drinking, you black out, later you're in another bar, you're drinking..." repeat ad nauseum. - Dave Attell.

I hate it when I'm beereft. But I take exception to the definition of Canadian...is that a reference to the people or the low value of our loonie? 'Cause I can assure you my bartender doesn't complain about the tips I leave...

The way I heard the 13th step explained, it was the 1st step + the 12th step: I have a problem, and I want to share it with you.

cybersouse n. someone who gets drunk while surfing the web, sometimes to the detriment of their social lives.

"Tile faced" had me falling off my chair (with laughter; no alcohol involved)

Most were pretty dumb (and a little pathetic). But "chimp in space" is very, very clever.

The beer scooter's absence surprised me. You know, the transport which magically takes drunks home from the pub when they're too drunk to care but empties your pockets of cash...
