why do drunks always staggar to the left?

[lil emo hobo]

and it is nothing to do with the hemispheres or walking along the roadside.
any one know...cuz i dont!

[Ethel]

The majority of people are right handed. And 'right footed'.

If you watch carefully, you will see they lead with the right foot when they walk - a sort of minimalised 'dot and carry'.

The left leg is not so confident - so causes the drunk to lose balance and stagger on that foot.

Ethel, I envy you? having an answer for everything lol

[dot.hawkes]

'dot and carry' ? what are you implyin mrs lol : ))

[smudge]

I'm left handed, left footed & although I've only ever been 'drunk' a few times in my life, I couldn't tell you which way I leaned when staggering home!

Look at what the Bible says about drinking too much.


(Proverbs 23:29-35) Who has woe? Who has uneasiness? Who has contentions? Who has concern? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has dullness of eyes? 30�Those staying a long time with the wine, those coming in to search out mixed wine. 31�Do not look at wine when it exhibits a red color, when it gives off its sparkle in the cup, [when] it goes with a slickness. 32�At its end it bites just like a serpent, and it secretes poison just like a viper. 33�Your own eyes will see strange things, and your own heart will speak perverse things. 34�And you will certainly become like one lying down in the heart of the sea, even like one lying down at the top of a mast. 35��They have struck me, but I did not become sick; they have smitten me, but I did not know it. When shall I wake up? I shall seek it yet some more.�

How many times have we heard of a drunk being hit by a car or falling off a roof and not being hurt.

The best bit is the one about being at the top of a mast...swaying... And so true.
