Hi,
Meteorologist and Bars?
How come this things together?
Yeah, I see...
after drinking enough of the famous pangalactic destroyer drinks, there are clouds around your head, that you can watch it out and with it you´re doing the next weather forecast!?

In this manner

who likes stormy weather and drinks in front of a fire-place.

well, no.
it´s rather simple: like the frog thing. if the weather is going to be good the frog climbs up the ladder and vice versa (actually it is just the lack of oxygen but that´s another story). and so it is with meteorologists: when the weather is going to be good they sit on the barstool and when it is going to be bad they are so dissappointed that they drink too much and finally fall off the barstool. basically this is also the case when the weather is going to become lovely but then no one realizes the drunken meteorologists on the floor because everyone is in a biergarten.

I´m so sorry, but this is not rather simple but quite expensive. And the other question is, how can I realize that that guy, down on the floor, is a meterologist and not a common sot? It seems to me very difficult.
But if this is the only way for sunshine, I wish you a good condition of your liver...

so long

you can recognize drunken meteorologists on a floor very easy: they go on drinking while they fall off the barstool and even when thy hit the floor. first thing they do when they arrive at the ground is to order a couple of drinks.

The odd thing about scientists getting drunk is that they remain scientists.

Scientists do lose their inhibitions when they are drunk, but they rarely use this state to go and do something fun. Rather they sit and argue theories they've come up with that they wouldn't dare say to a collegue while sober.

meteorology is not just a scientific task, it´s an art. and because of this meteorologists are not scientists in the first place, they are artists.
and it is the godgiven right for students, alcoholics and artists to sit in pubs and drink til they fall of the barstool (which does not mean that they do not argue theorys).
