Interesting Question (And I Know It's Interesting Because I'm Asking It)

I had never heard this about public executions back in the day:

The executions themselves could last hours from start to finish, with the condemned often driven in a cart through throngs of onlookers, as if he or she was on a parade float. Sometimes they stopped off at pubs along the way, where the giddy public got many a condemned man drunk before his ultimate demise.

Would you wanna be drunk for this?  Or would you wanna milk every last second with sober clarity?

I think for my final moments I'd choose the latter; the former I'll happily do for all the previous days.
