I looooove to drink red wine.  One thing I can not do is drink the same time I am painting.  This practice seems to work very well for many artists.  Take Francis Bacon, who apparently was completely hammered every time he worked, and all the rest of the time too.

Well, Happy Friday everyone!  It's almost Happy Hour. Go do a drawing and show me how it turns out!
