Dranker

Dranker: Banker + Drinker = Dranker. Bankers driven to drink by bad loans, bad times, bad news, bad image, defaults, toxic assets and other issues of the failed banking system. A new symbol for the complete and utter failure of the banking system as it has (d)evolved. Probably another reason not to maintain bonus payments to these once-proud folks as they might now be spending it on cheap vodka and not Dom Perignon. We have got to get these drinking bankers to stop the drink and get into Rehab! Our moral and financial recovery depends on it! Reference: U.S. rehab centers see bankers driven to drink.
