Topless Robot - The 10 Greatest Things Booze Is Responsible For

7) The Work of Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway drank more in one night than some people down in a lifetime. He drank in-between hunting wild game, running with the bulls, and churning out some of the finest literature of the 20th century, in which the characters also drink, heavily and constantly. No sober man would have done what Hemingway did, and no one else could have written such prose without having experience life so...boozily. Also, like other great drunkards, Ernest Hemingway has a drink named for him: Cuba's famous El Floridita makes the "Papa Doble," which is a extra-rum-soaked double frozen daiquiri.
