I recommend that you start by reading a few poems by the original bad drunken bar poet featured on the home page here, and then read some of the brilliant, poetic masterpieces featured on our Visitor submitted back drunken POEM page to get a feel for the style of drunken poetry. Of course, our dynamic poll page, "the web's most Raw Honest polls," is quickly becoming an internet phenomenon. This feature, on the Raw Hones Poll page even provides you with a personal vote tracking chart. In the last week alone, more than 25000 votes have been placed. Then explorer some of the other cool features of the site like the drunk en_editor's crazy "eye" theory, our, the state-of-the-art Drunken Beerbook (guestbook). Then, go out to a bar alone tonight and get drunk. When you feel the inspiration hit, ask for a pile of bar napkins and a cheap pen and go to work on your own poetic masterpieces then use our drunken poem submission form here. back to top

Bad Drunken Bar Poetry isn't a blog site per-say. The content on this site is carefully adjudicated to insure that it is consistent with the theme and standards of the site. Also this website, more of an application, has a host of other amusements besides poem submissions. Bad Drunken Bar Poetry is a specific art form with specific parameters involved. That said, the origins of this site might make it one of the first blog like sites. Our original website featured submitted poems and works of the drunken editor that had a blog feel to it. I believe blogs were not even around at that time (mid 1990's). View the original version of Bad Drunken Bar Poetry to see.

Our staff shares your love for Bad Drunken Bar Poetry. The drunken editor is committed to showcasing the best drunken bar poetry around.

This site uses professional grade methods behind its pages. Some components are more experimental and less cross-browser compatible than others. To see an example of a more experimental page, visit the incredible, state-of-the-art 3D drunken beerbook. On the server side this site uses ASP (active server pages) and ASP.Net. Data is stored on several Access databases until at some point if a SQL server is required. ASP is used to not only communicate with the databases but also works in concert with client side JavaScript. The two exchange information that allows custom rendering of page components in order to tailor make your browsing experience. This site has a ton of DHTML (Dynamic HTML) that uses HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, and JavaScript to facilitate user interaction, for validation, active rendering, special effects and drunken experiments. The search engines use a new technique that the drunken poet invented and will not be disclosed at this time. The drunken beerbook also relies on a few techniques invented by the drunken poet and is the first publicly tested application of an incredibly drunken approach that will be barfed onto the Internet this year.

I don't know. I don't care how much you drink and people handle alcohol differently. I do care about bad drunken poems written on bar napkins and drinking tends to inspire those. I will say that I am against drinking and driving and any other activity while drinking that might harm another. The drunken editor never drives to the bars he writes in! Regarding legal issues please read our Legal notice and disclaimers.

Drunkenness makes people more honest and expose more even if they don't know it. Good artists spend lifetimes developing the ability to communicate honestly and directly. Art is honesty. Everybody has something beautiful to express because the honest experience of an individuals thoughts, emotions and mind are beautiful. So, Bad Drunken Bar Poetry is a method to make beautiful artists of us all. To expose the beauty of an individuals everyday reality, to shed light on feelings that we all have but are usually to safe or restricted to approach - even most so-called professional 'poets' and artists don't achieve real honesty with us. So, go forth and wear your hearts on your sleeves an spill beer on your shirt. Give us your drunken thoughts, your Bad Drunken Bar poems! Legal notice and disclaimers

Only if you try to balance as many objects on the bar table as you see around you, one on top of the other like the drunken poet often does. Otherwise, its very cathartic, and probably healthy in that it helps you deal with stress, difficult issues, and help a person be honest about themselves and a situation. back to top
