Does blogging require booze?

Jeff Goldstein's Report from the Rocky Mountaing blogbash convinced me that I lack one basic ingredient of a hip blogger. I don't drink. I have never been drunk. And I don't think I'd enjoy getting drunk, or dealing with it the next morning.

I do like Protein Wisdom, though.

One thing booze does for one is to give him a sense of bravado, that would probably get me killed. Nothing in my experience has convinced me that I'm missing much, or that I could limit myself to being a merely social drinker.
