  • "Last month, after Hurricane Ike ripped through her hometown, Ms. Stukenberg, 29, said, she found herself consoling a friend who had used the tragedy as an excuse to send a drunken text-message to reconnect with an ex-boyfriend--a move she later regretted. 'She said that Ike had messed up her apartment so she had no place to stay, so could she stay at his house,' Ms. Stukenberg recalled. 'It was total liquid courage.'" -- Drunk, and Dangerous, at the Keyboard, NYT Online, 10/17/08
