flavorpill: Ernest Hemingway Substance of choice: Alcohol Relevant musings: “Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” Though of course there are scores of notable writers who were addicted to alcohol (Dorothy Parker, John Cheever, F. Scott Fitzgerald, the list goes on), the leader of the pack must be our Papa. A functioning alcoholic for most of his life, he began drinking even more heavily in the ’50s to combat injuries sustained in a series of accidents. His drinking habits have become such the stuff of legend that he is credited with inventing several beverages, including the daiquiri and the mojito. This seems unlikely, but we we can say with certainty that he created the Papa Doble. Famous addictions of famous authors

dadsaretheoriginalhipster: Your dad knew about irony before you did and he had “Le Car” to prove it. For $300 and a half roll of mint Lifesavers, he purchased rolling satire. His “chariot” cemented his place as “The Most Ironic Man in the World” because he bought a car that wasn’t a car, but called itself a car by writing car on the car. He was a visionary of irony that liked everything everyone else hated so once he made it popular he could hate on it and say he liked it before it was cool. He liked disco in the 60’s, hair metal in the 70’s, and wore Clarkston High School track shirts even though he’d never ran and didn’t go to that school. Everything he has ever done has been ironic, including loving you.  So hipsters, in 2012 when you’re claiming that you voted for Rick Perry after the elections and saying that it was cool because nobody else did it or growing a mustache and refusing to admit that it doesn’t look terrible, remember this… Your dad is so ironic that after spending his entire youth rebelling against his father the most ironic thing he could do was become him by having you and being a dad himself (which is also the same track you’re currently on, and yet another example of something else he did before you). Thanks to Jessica for today’s awesome submission via the Facebook fan page.

dadsaretheoriginalhipster: Your dad was into craft beer before you were and he has one of the best breweries around to prove it. He was the MacGyver of making drunk, the Mozart of all things malt. He could bottle a beer with one hand, seduce your mother with the other and still never spill a drop. So hipsters, next time you’re belly up to the bar, scratching your beard and staring at the tap selection like it was an assortment of Levi’s skinny jeans, remember this… Your dad knew beer before you did and you can taste his knowledge on your local tap by ordering a Bell’s. Much Thanks to Laura B. for submitting a photo of Larry Bell of Bell’s Brewery. I tip my cycling cap and raise a glass of Oberon to you sir. You brew a beer that reminds me of being home in Michigan.

dadsaretheoriginalhipster: Your dad was into American Apparel before you and he has the monochromatic pimp get ups to prove it. He was an all balls, no helmet kind of man that knew what full commitment looked like, and it looked god damn turbo hard. Bathed head to toe in the freshest royal Pantone swatches, he was known for fist slapping anyone who had the stones to step up and called him lavender. He was the King of single color outfit and he wore your mom like a crown.So hipsters, next time you’re listening to Sleigh Bells in the dressing room while trying to look indifferent in the mirror, remember this…If millions of hipsters shop at the same store, doesn’t that make the store mainstream?
