Why not literal?
I was looking (as usual) at the steady rise of Nash/AMC through the '50s.
A pattern seemed to appear. Both GM and Ford got totally drunk on grotesque ugliness and impracticality in '58 and '59, then started to sober up in '60. Chrysler got drunk in '61 and '62, then started to sober up in '63. Rambler remained sober all the time, and buyers rewarded the difference.
Hey! Maybe that's not a metaphor. Biographies agree that the leaders of the big three were dead drunk in those years. Barely able to stand up, let alone form rational decisions.
George Romney, a Mormon, was always sober. His judgment was unimpaired, always correct, sometimes brilliant.
Designated Driver wins.
