I was playing golf last year and drank a case of Nattie BOH by the thirteenth hole. The 13th is a cliff drive par three. The cart path wraps around the fairway, down the cliff. (Anyone know where this is going)
I drove the cart (brand new) way too fast down the hill, tried to make the curve, didn't, bailed out and the cart flipped over and slid on it's side about thirty feet. After that the brand new cart ran like sh*t and wouldn't drive straight. My buddy was laughing until he remembered that he put down the deposit on the cart.
This alone I know will not qualify me as a DB, BUT does the fact that I cared nothing about the cart and my buddy's credit card improve my status as a DB?
If not, I can tell you the only thing I WAS pissed off about is that all of the rest of the beers rolled away.
ALSO I spent more time looking for the beers than my ball!!

[snip the golf cart crash]
Sounds like you've outstanding potential, since you've already familiarized yourself with the intense golf/beer relationship.
A couple of pointers, though.
1) It's bad form to crash your golf cart across someone's putting line.Glad to be of service. BTW - a REAL drunken bastard would now post a tale of destruction caused by drunkenly practicing his 4-iron in his home during a rainstorm.2) Beer should never be allowed in your cart except in an approved safety seat (Igloo-type ice chest), to protect it from the inevitable impact.
3) When crashing the cart, if you bail out, you should yell "Fore!" to warn those ahead that an unmanned cart is careening in their direction, and they need to be on the lookout for loose beers.
4) If you stay with the cart during the crash, shouting "Fack Me!" is perfectly acceptable golf etiquette.
5) You may deduct three strokes from your final score for every complete roll executed by the cart after you've bailed.

Yeah, I did that...
