Vice One: Be A Drinker
To be a drinker means, of course, to be social. Sure, it’s all right to drink by oneself on occasion. But because the highly creative live so often in the private world of ideas, they also need to mingle with their friends at a good party. That’s why F. Scott Fitzgerald threw his fantastic “Gatsbyesque” parties on Long Island, inviting such other besotted artists as Gloria Swanson, Sherwood Anderson, John Dos Passos and Dorothy Parker. Remember, though, that when entertaining the highly creative some ground rules need to be set.
