Completing Dorothy Parker’s Lament

Completing Dorothy Parker’s Lament

"I wish I could drink like a lady.
I can take one or two at the most.
Three drinks and I'm under the table.
Four drinks and I'm under the host." 

To which I add:

Five drinks and I’m ripe for an orgy

Six drinks and I’ve got the thing going,

Seven drinks and I’m pulling a bank-job

Eight drinks and I’ve hijacked a Boeing.

Nine drinks I’m a Wall Street investor,

Ten drinks I’m a Tory M.P.

Eleven and I’ve invaded Poland

Twelve drinks – wow! – here comes WWIII.
