Is there more to St. Pat’s than going out and getting your liver pickled? Of course there is — like staying in and watching others get their livers pickled. If you’re one of those dipsomaniacs who dismisses the holiday as a night for amateurs, we present the First Professional Drinkers Film Festival, divided into three categories:
Just Getting Started, or My First One Today: “Barfly,” “Trees Lounge,” “Withnail & I,” “The Nutty Professor”
The Life of the Party: The “Pink Elephants on Parade” sequence from “Dumbo,” “Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas,” “Leaving Las Vegas,” W.C. Fields’ short, “The Fatal Glass of Beer”
The Morning After:
“Days of Wine & Roses” (left)
“Lost Weekend,” “Under he Volcano,” “Clean and Sober.”
