I went to a math conference once. They're into harder drugs to keep them going, as they all passed their prime in their twenties. Although, I'd also bring up the fact that writers are famous for their drinking, moreso than philosophers. Hemingway, Faulkner, Roethke, St. John, Stafford, Capote, Poe, Crane, Fitzgerald, Melville, Schwartz, London, O'Neill, Parker, Lowell, Lardner, Tate, O Henry, Lewis, Sterling, Bodenheim, Anderson, Thomas, Miller, &c, &c, et fucking cetera.
In other words, make them type their submissions.
