Who would win in a drinking contest...

[superunknown]

Between Hemingway and Bukowski?

[Ryduce]

All I know is Bukowski would eventually take a swing at Hemingway.

In which case Hemingway is better with a gun.

Hemingway shoots Bukowski.

[superunknown]

You're forgetting, Hemingway did a fair bit of boxing in his time (no pun intended).

[papayahed]

My money's on Hemingway.

[crazyed]

Bukowski might win, but might not survive.

[bazarov]

What are they drinking? Can they use toilet?

[superunknown]

Well both of them seemed to enjoy whisky, so why not go with that. Sure, they can use the toilet. The contest goes on until one of them is incapable of drinking anymore.

I'd have to say Hemingway. While both men would have built up considerable tolerance to alcohol, Hemingway was over six feet tall, and I believe he would have had the body mass advantage.
