Are you planning on starting a rationalist's drinking club? A byob lesswrong meetup with one sober note-taker? You usually do things purposefully, even if they're unusual purposes, so consistent drunkenness seems uncharacteristic unless it's part of a plan.
Will_Newsome isn't a rationalist. (He has described himself as a 'post-rationalist', which seems as good a term as any.)
(FWIW the "post-rationalist" label isn't my invention, I think it mostly belongs to the somewhat separate Will Ryan / Nick Tarleton / Michael Vassar / Divia / &c. crowd; I agree with Nick and Vassar way more than I agree with the LessWrong gestalt, but I'm still off on my own plot of land. Jennifer Rodriguez-Mueller could be described similarly.)
I'm pretty sure the term "rationalist's drinking club" wouldn't be used ingenuously as a self-description. I have noticed the justifiable use of "post-rationalist" and distance from the LW gestalt, though. I think if there were a site centered around a sequence written by Steve Rayhawk with the kind of insights into other people's minds he regularly writes out here, with Sark and a few others as heavy contributors, that would be a "more agenty less wrong" Will would endorse. I'd actually like to see that, too.
