John Stuart Mill did many more awesome things than be particularly ill on half a pint of shandy, especially the way Adam Gopnik writes about him.

That someone who up through college stuttered so severely that he was nicknamed "Dash Biden" not because he was lightning on the field but because that's how you spell out "B-B-B-Biden" can grow up into a politician whose prevailing silly faults are rambling on like there's no tomorrow and a tendency to blurt out whatever drops into his head as though he has no brain-to-mouth filter? Hell, yeah, and God bless Demosthenes' pebbles. Not to mention handing the governor of Alaska her hat, her head, or her ass, complete the metaphor of your choice. Obviously, the next step is to get him to speak at the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children.
