So Long — Dylan Thomas R.I.P.

November 9, 1953: Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, author of Under Milk Wood, died at age 39, following the consumption of 18 stiff whiskies which put him into an alcoholic coma, from which he ne’er saw light o’day eremore.

“An alcoholic is someone you don’t like
who drinks as much as you do.”
— Dylan Thomas
