This pattern's crown looks, well, drunk. Everything about it rotates back and forth (regularly, mind you, but still). So, I named the design after an expression commonly used at the U of A to refer to freshmen who have over- imbibed, as they are wont to do. I prefer this in Zambian amethyst, but works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes.
