I've always wondered what kind of drug that Stephen Kings been on!.

When I'm working full time on a script, I'm always sober until the end and then I tie a binge on!. Most writers have a vivid imagination!. As for myself, while preparing to actually process the work, alcohol helps me organize my ideas and become more articulate while in the 2!.1 (memory chip) stage!.

If you take a good look at what alcohol basically does while in your system, then maybe you'll have a better understanding!. For most people alcohol distorts their thoughts and creates traces of psychosis!. If I'm drinking while in the 2!.1 mode, then I'm always running to my legal pad shuffling around dialog and reconstructing all three plot plateau's due to alcohol level!.

Assuming your referencing the works of Steinbeck, Hemmingway and Ian Fleming--I think there's more the common thread than a taste of alcohol that binds them and other famed writers of early 20th century works!.

Steinbeck, Fleming and Hemmingway both were men of adventure--facets of their robust lives were part of the inspiration for Indiana Jones' character!. And being they were macho men of their day, alcohol consumption was part of such a man's image!.

I don't think their tastes for the drink really played a part into their literary talents; it was part of their lives as macho men of adventure!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
