Continuing our glorious tradition, we will have another "Drunk Kant" event.

In this meeting, we drink and socialize and have a casual, open-ended conversation about Kant and whatever else comes up. (Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are fine)

Speeches are welcome but not necessary, just make sure you are intoxicated sufficiently.

Why now? In the United States, we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. The Wednesday just before Thanksgiving is often called [Blackout Wednesday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_Wednesday) (AKA Drinksgiving) and is a popular time for people to get drunk.

**Get Drunk**

Always be drunk.

That's it!
The great imperative!
In order not to feel
Time's horrid fardel
bruise your shoulders,
grinding you into the earth,
Get drunk and stay that way.
On what?
On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever.
But get drunk.
And if you sometimes happen to wake up
on the porches of a palace,
in the green grass of a ditch,
in the dismal loneliness of your own room,
your drunkenness gone or disappearing,
ask the wind,
the wave,
the star,
the bird,
the clock,
ask everything that flees,
everything that groans
or rolls
or sings,
everything that speaks,
ask what time it is;
and the wind,
the wave,
the star,
the bird,
the clock
will answer you:
"Time to get drunk!
Don't be martyred slaves of Time,
Get drunk!
Stay drunk!
On wine, virtue, poetry, whatever!"
