Hemingway

The act of writing, particularly a lengthy blog, article or essay, while consuming moderate to large quantities of alcohol during the process. Can be done to help stimulate creativity but most of the time the person is just a borderline alchoholic.
Term can also be interchanged with other popular writers with an affinity for booze. i.e.; to "Capote", to "Faulkner", to "Kerouack", to "Fitzgerald"
