	Many thanks to those who responded to my query.  Here is
a composite made up of information from all of the responses.  My
apologies to any philosphers, drinkers or other individuals who
might find this offensive.













      ----- The Philosopher's Drinking Song -----

	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
	Schopenhauer and 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.

		Happy Holidays to all.
