The more I research information about the play, the more questions I come up with! I started researching drinking bourbon upside down because I wondered why it's mentioned in the play twice, once as a hiccups cure, and once as a cure-all method.
The only parallel I could draw was with the poet and alcoholic William Faulkner. After his first (and only) plane flight after WWI, he crashed the plane into the rafters of the hanger, as he was hanging there, upside down, he just kept on drinking his bourbon, unfazed.
Perhaps it's just coincidence, or maybe it's a link to something more...
