Why, Plato, of course!
I've posted the entire thing once before, but...
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable, Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could drink you under the table, David Hume could outconsume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as shloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Neitzsche 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 buggar for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram, And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am." And Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker but a buggar when he's pissed.
