Today's memo: If your puzzle requires 8 themers, just say no to that part of your brain.
Also, 19A is screaming for a cryptic clue along the lines of Actress Miller ain't back! (4)! We'll work on the specifics later though!
Hope that y'all enjoy this one!
Any notes from the editor can of course be ignored unless you have a really poor sense of humour. And yes, two out of three themers here are boozy in nature/cluing! (Explains why you thought having a 11/10/11 stack with a themer cross an 11/11 stack…

Fill is fun! I can't believe that 57D was last used in 1997 (ofc, the clue would've been rather different back then!!). I'd have liked to get one more set of long entries in but... well, I looked into the abyss, and it glared back at me.
