O irmão maravilhoso de Christopher Hitchens

Vocês sabiam que Christopher Hitchens, aquele colunista inglês que não acredita em Deus porque este não atendeu seu pedido de ter uma ereção imediata, tem um irmão que é cristão, realmente da direita e que acha brother Chris um tanto aparvalhado? Trata-se de Peter Hitchens. Leiam o trecho abaixo:

“Last week, amid much abuse of me on the rape article  (mainly of an uninteresting  and repetitive kind), a contributor to ‘Christopher Hitchens Watch’ proclaimed “Let’s face it, both brothers like to drink to unconsciousness.” Now, wait a minute here. This is certainly not true of my brother, though he can drink a great deal and makes no secret of it. But it’s even less true of me. This isn’t a claim of moral superiority. I have no choice in the matter.  I have never been able to drink alcohol in any quantity without becoming horribly, memorably (and soberly) unwell, something I discovered in my teens, when my capacity was slightly less small than it is now. I wouldn’t physically be able to drink myself unconscious as I’d be too ill to lose consciousness. I don’t want to be pious about this. It’s just so. I can cope with about half a bottle of wine as long as I eat a meal with it, and that’s it, though I find that even that’s stretching things a bit these days. I get far more pleasure from arguing than I do from drink”.
