	The Drinker (Banksy) ''The Drinker'' is a statue by graffiti artist Banksy, not to be confused with the stencil of the same name, a graffiti artwork of a rat drinking a cocktail, on a wall at North Beach, Lowestoft, England. History In 2004, the statue was placed, in a small square at Princes Circus, on Shaftesbury Avenue, between New Oxford Street and High Holborn, central London. It is a subversive comment using ''The Thinker'' by Auguste Rodin. In March 2004, ''The Drinker'' was stolen by "art terrorist", football hooligan Andy Link, a former porn star, with an arrest record, and a record of drug charges, (also known as AK47). Around a year after Link took ''The Drinker'', Link says he registered "the lost and found item" with police, and contacted Banksy, asking for £5,000, or an original canvas, "to cover costs". In 2007, three years after Link stole it, the sculpture was taken from Link's garden, while he was away. In December 2015, Link re-installed, as "The Stinker", "an imitation of Ban ...

	The Drinker (novel) ''The Drinker'' (german: Der Trinker) is a novel by German writer Hans Fallada, first published posthumously in 1950. Fallada began the novel in 1944, when he was imprisoned in a criminal asylum for the attempted murder of his wife. It is autobiographical, in diary form, and tells the story of a man in the grip of alcohol. Beryl Bainbridge called it "both shocking and original". Fallada wrote the manuscript in code, so as to encrypt the contents of the manuscript against detection by asylum staff and officials.

picture info	The Drinkers ''The Triumph of Bacchus'' (Greek title is ''Ο Θρίαμβος του Βάκχου'') is a painting by Diego Velázquez, now in the Museo del Prado, in Madrid. It is popularly known as ''Los borrachos'' or ''The Drinkers'' (politely, also ''The Drunks''). Velázquez painted ''The Triumph of Bacchus'' after arriving in Madrid from Seville and just before his voyage to Italy. The work was painted for Philip IV, who paid Velázquez 100 ducats for it. The painting shows Bacchus surrounded by drunks. In Madrid, Velázquez was able to study the king's collection of Italian paintings and was no doubt struck by the nudity in many paintings as well as the treatment of mythological subjects. ''The Triumph of Bacchus'' has been described as the masterpiece of Velázquez's 1620s paintings. Description In the work, Bacchus is represented as a person at the center of a small celebration, but his skin is paler than that of his companions, rendering him more easily recognizable. Unusually, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Drinker Nisti ''Nanosaurus'' ("small or dwarf lizard") is the name given to a genus of neornithischian dinosaur that lived about 155 to 148 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic-age. Its fossils are known from the Morrison Formation of the south-western United States. The type and only species, ''Nanosaurus agilis'', was described and named by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. The taxon has a complicated taxonomic history, largely the work of Marsh and Peter M. Galton, involving the genera ''Laosaurus'', ''Hallopus'', ''Drinker'', ''Othnielia'', and ''Othnielosaurus'', the latter three now being considered to be synonyms of ''Nanosaurus''. It had historically been classified as a hypsilophodont or fabrosaur, types of generalized small bipedal herbivore, but more recent research has abandoned these groupings as paraphyletic and ''Nanosaurus'' is today considered a basal member of Neornithischia. Description ''Nanosaurus'' is known from material from all parts of the body, including tw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Drinker (moth) ''Euthrix potatoria'', the drinker, is an orange-brown moth of the family Lasiocampidae. The species' common and scientific names derive from the larva's supposed drinking of drops of dew. Name The scientific name ''Euthryx potatoria'' was given to this moth by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. In choosing the name ''potatoria'' ‘drinker-like’, he was inspired by the Dutch entomologist Johannes Goedaert, who had called the animal ''dronckaerdt'' ‘drunkard’ “because it is very much inclined to drinking”. This remark refers to the moth’s habit of repeatedly plunging its head into the water. The English name ''drinker (moth)'' also refers to Goedaert’s analogy. Subspecies Subspecies include: ''Euthrix potatoria mikado'' Bryk ''Euthrix potatoria potatoria'' (Linnaeus, 1758) Distribution and habitat This species can be found in Europe. The species is fairly common in the southern half of Britain. In Scotland, it is common in the west but not in the east of the countrIt is ...

	Drinker House The Henry S. Drinker House was constructed in 1902 on the campus of Haverford College. Located just beyond Founder's Green, the house sits next to Haverford's soccer pitch and across Walton Road from Gummere, which houses freshmen. Drinker was originally built for Haverford professor William Comfort, who became president of the College in 1917, and later served as home to other important professors. In 1961, it was renovated to serve as the school's music building; it was renamed for Henry S. Drinker '00, a former cricket player at Haverford who went on to a distinguished law and academic career and to become a noted musicologist. In 1974, Drinker was converted to student housing. The house has two floors and holds 18 residents, traditionally members of the baseball team. It has often hosted for social gatherings and various annual events. The house traditionally holds the first party of the year, known colloquially as "First Drinker," and a holiday party. In 2006, Jeffrey Suell ...
