Sure, there are alcoholics in the past. But sitting with the intention of sounding drunk, interspersing deliberate typos with "pour another drink" and "take a sip" because someone thought that was a cool premise is weird.
It's one thing to write drunk, it's another thing to get drunk to write about being drunk

I would again see Bukowski.
Is Bukowski generally seen as a role model?
I don't think the dude drunken rambling on reddit was aspiring to be a role model, just share what he perceived as wisdom he's gained in life.

He's certainly more famous that most HN posters :)
Perhaps he also had fun doing it.
