A Clockwork Orange
Yep, I'm mentioned Trakl a while ago.
By chance going through the Anthony Burgess biography by Andrew Biswell I came across this a few minutes ago:
"Apart from work, of which there was obviously a great deal, there was also the drinking to get done. Burgess and Lynne [his wife] would get through a couple of bottles of wine over dinner, and a dozen bottles of Gordon's gin were delivered to the house every week--an astonishing amount considering that they hardly ever entertained visitors. Burgess's rate of gin consumption was not measurably lower than his wife's. When he wasn't drinking gin in the house, or downing pints of beer with double-whiskey chasers at the Etchingham Arms--his habitual den in the village, from which Lynne had been barred after a fist-fight with the landlord--he was devising life-threatening cocktails, such as the Hangman's Blood....which he described to readers of the Guardian in 1966: 'Into a pint beer-glass doubles of the following are poured: gin, whisky, rum, port, and brandy. A small bottle of stout is added, and the whole topped up with champagne or champagne-surrogate. It tastes very smooth, induces a somehow metaphysical elation, and rarely leaves a hangover.'"
