Funny that you used the sinking ship analogy. I had a dream just 2 nights ago that I was on the Titanic as it was going down. I was with a group of people in the lounge and I turned to the mature looking gentleman to my left and asked it I should get a Brandy (never drink Brandy but it must have been me thinking about thermoregulation when I hit that cold ocean water.)
I remember the people to my right were drinking Lemoncello or something of that nature and I thought that wasn't going to cut it. Isn't that a riot? Right up to the final moment of what could be the end of my life, I'm wondering what I should order. "What the hell", right?
