[Arnold Zwicky]

dInIs asks:
  Does anybody have a handy reference to the old article(s) on
  alcohol-induced pronunciation effects (palataliztion among them of
  course)?

you probably have in mind Lester & Skousen, 'The phonology of
drunkenness', in the 1974 _Papers from the Parasession on Natural
Phonology_ (Chicago Linguistic Society).

but now there's S.B. Chin & D.B. Pisoni (eds.), _Alcohol and
Speech_ (Academic Press, 1997).
