The Drinker (Banksy)
''The Drinker'' is a statue by graffiti artist Banksy, not to be confused with the stencil of the same name, a graffiti artwork of a rat drinking a cocktail, on a wall at North Beach, Lowestoft, England. History In 2004, the statue was placed in a small square at Princes Circus on Shaftesbury Avenue between New Oxford Street and High Holborn in central London. It is a subversive comment using ''The Thinker'' by Auguste Rodin. In March 2004, ''The Drinker'' was stolen by "art terrorist" and football hooligan Andy Link (also known as AK47), a former porn star with an arrest record and a record of drug charges. Around a year after Link took ''The Drinker'', Link says he registered "the lost and found item" with police, and contacted Banksy, asking for £5,000, or an original canvas, "to cover costs". In 2007, three years after Link stole it, the sculpture was taken from Link's garden, while he was away. In December 2015, Link re-installed, as ''The Stinker'', "an imitation of Ba ...

The Drinkers
''The Triumph of Bacchus'' (Greek: ''Ο Θρίαμβος του Βάκχου'') is a painting by Diego Velázquez, now in the Museo del Prado, in Madrid. It is popularly known as ''Los borrachos'' or ''The Drinkers'' (also ''The Drunks''). Velázquez painted ''The Triumph of Bacchus'' after arriving in Madrid from Seville and just before his voyage to Italy. The work was painted for Philip IV, who paid Velázquez 100 ducats for it. The painting shows Bacchus surrounded by drunks. In Madrid, Velázquez was able to study the king's collection of Italian paintings and was no doubt struck by the nudity in many paintings as well as the treatment of mythological subjects. ''The Triumph of Bacchus'' has been described as the masterpiece of Velázquez's 1620s paintings. Description In the work, Bacchus is represented as a person at the center of a small celebration, but his skin is paler than that of his companions, rendering him more easily recognizable. Unusually, the rest of the g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drinker Nisti
''Nanosaurus'' ("small or dwarf lizard") is an extinct genus of neornithischian dinosaur that lived about 155 to 148 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic in North America. Its fossils are known from the Morrison Formation of the south-western United States. The type and only species, ''Nanosaurus agilis'', was described and named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. The taxon has a complicated taxonomic history, largely the work of Marsh and Peter M. Galton, involving the genera ''Laosaurus'', ''Hallopus'', ''Drinker'', ''Othnielia'', and ''Othnielosaurus'', the latter three now being considered to be synonyms of ''Nanosaurus''. It had historically been classified as a hypsilophodont or fabrosaur, types of generalized small bipedal herbivore, but more recent research has abandoned these groupings as paraphyletic and ''Nanosaurus'' is today considered a basal member of Neornithischia. History and taxonomy Marsh's original groundwork ''Nanosaurus'' has had a long and compl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drinker (moth)
''Euthrix potatoria'', the drinker, is an orange-brown moth of the family Lasiocampidae. The species' common and scientific names derive from the larva's supposed drinking of drops of dew. Name The scientific name ''Euthryx potatoria'' was given to this moth by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. In choosing the name ''potatoria'' 'drinker-like', he was inspired by the Dutch entomologist Johannes Goedaert, who had called the animal ''dronckaerdt'' 'drunkard' "because it is very much inclined to drinking". This remark refers to the moth's habit of repeatedly plunging its head into the water. The English name ''drinker (moth)'' also refers to Goedaert's analogy. Subspecies Subspecies include: *''Euthrix potatoria mikado'' Bryk *''Euthrix potatoria potatoria'' (Linnaeus, 1758) Distribution and habitat This species can be found in Europe. The species is fairly common in the southern half of Britain. In Scotland, it is common in the west but not in the east of the country. It is most freque ...

Drinker House
The Henry S. Drinker House was constructed in 1902 on the campus of Haverford College. Located just beyond Founder's Green, the house sits next to Haverford's soccer pitch and across Walton Road from Gummere, which houses freshmen. Drinker was originally built for Haverford professor William Comfort, who became president of the College in 1917, and later served as home to other important professors. In 1961, it was renovated to serve as the school's music building; it was renamed for Henry S. Drinker '00, a former cricket player at Haverford who went on to a distinguished law and academic career and to become a noted musicologist. In 1974, Drinker was converted to student housing. The house has two floors and holds 18 residents, traditionally members of the baseball team. It has often hosted for social gatherings and various annual events. The house traditionally holds the first party of the year, known colloquially as "First Drinker," and a holiday party. In 2006, Jeffrey Suell ...

Alcoholic Beverages
Drinks containing alcohol are typically divided into three classes—beers, wines, and spirits—with alcohol content typically between 3% and 50%. Drinks with less than 0.5% are sometimes considered non-alcoholic. Many societies have a distinct drinking culture, where alcoholic drinks are integrated into parties. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Some regulations require the labeling of the percentage alcohol content (as ABV or proof) and the use of a warning label. Some countries ban the consumption of alcoholic drinks, but they are legal in most parts of the world. The temperance movement advocates against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The global alcoholic drink industry exceeded $1.5 trillion in 2017. Alcohol is one of the most widely used recreational drugs in the world, and about 33% of all humans currently drink alcohol. In 2015, among Americans, 86% of adults had consumed alcohol at som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
