  Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
  Who was very rarely stable

  Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
  Who could think you under the table

  David Hume could out-consume
  Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

  And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
  Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

  There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya
  ’bout the raising of the wrist
  Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

  John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
  On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

  Plato, they say, could stick it away
  Half a crate of whiskey every day

  Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
  Hobbes was fond of his dram

  And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
  “I drink, therefore I am.”

  Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
  A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed

  I am not sure they had whiskey in the Bronze Age. Beer and wine sure but whiskey? Really? Plato drinking whiskey is a pretty big leap dude. Unless he had a time machine to jump forward.

  If you use bad examples that are easy to disprove your entire arguments fail.

  The earliest certain chemical distillations were by Greeks in Alexandria in the 1st century AD,[13] but these were not distillations of alcohol. The medieval Arabs adopted the distillation technique of the Alexandrian Greeks, and written records in Arabic begin in the 9th century, but again these were not distillations of alcohol.[13] Distilling technology passed from the medieval Arabs to the medieval Latins, with the earliest records in Latin in the early 12th century.[13][14]

  The earliest records of the distillation of alcohol are in Italy in the 13th century, where alcohol was distilled from wine.[13] An early description of the technique was given by Ramon Llull (1232–1315).[13] Its use spread through medieval monasteries,[15] largely for medicinal purposes, such as the treatment of colic and smallpox.[1
