Does anyone know the history of the phrase "like druken geese in the fog" ?

Apparently, some people thought it an apt way to describe certain situations in the years following the First World War. Meanwhile, I'm sure all those people who think that their Amazon.com Impulse Shoppin...I mean, "Gold Box" is demonstrable evidence that we are all the path to digital salvation will be equally happy that a Google search for "Paris 1919" yields 101 listings for online book sellers. I, however, find it decidedly unpleasant and troubling.
