Beer, re your post of Nov 10th. There is a song that has that very sentiment, recorded by a duo named Tundra, from Kent, UK, about a million years ago. I can't for the life of me find it at the moment but the basic premise is a sailor who suffers various misfortunes and bodily losses.

He ends his days at the Old Sailors home sans a leg, an arm, an eye, his nose and his singing voice but as long as he's able to raise a cup to toast the King with, nothing will stop his drinking.

I'll have a look and see if I can find the whole song. I think it may be 'Jolly Jack of Dover' but there's nothing in the DT.
