That is a common saying in the south.... "Drunker than cooter brown". I've always wondered who poor cooter brown was and how he became known as a really bad drunk.... lol ;-)

Cooter Brown lived along the Mason-Dixon line at the time of the Civil War. He had family on both sides, and, not wishing to be drafted by either the North or the South, he decided to get drunk -- and stay drunk -- so that he wouldn't have to fight in the war. Inebriety has been measured against Cooter Brown's extended binge ever since.
