Alcohol and alcoholism Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Alcohol and alcoholism

1.
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

2.
I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
Fields, W. C.

3.
No other human being, no woman, no poem or music, book or painting can replace alcohol in its power to give man the illusion of real creation.
Duras, Marguerite

4.
Don't you drink? I notice you speak slightingly of the bottle. I have drunk since I was fifteen and few things have given me more pleasure. When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky? When you are cold and wet what else can warm you? Before an attack who can say anything that gives you the momentary well-being that rum does? The only time it isn't good for you is when you write or when you fight. You have to do that cold. But it always helps my shooting. Modern life, too, is often a mechanical oppression and liquor is the only mechanical relief.
Hemingway, Ernest

5.
Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.
Duras, Marguerite

6.
The Great Spirit, who made all things, made every thing for some use, and whatever use he designed anything for, that use it should always be put to. Now, when he made rum, he said Let this be for the Indians to get drunk with, and it must be so.
Native American Elder

7.
Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

8.
The decline of the aperitif may well be one of the most depressing phenomena of our time.
Bunuel, Luis

9.
I don't drink any more than the man next to me, and the man next to me is Dean Martin.
Lewis, Joe E.

10.
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Fields, W. C.

11.
I do not live in the world of sobriety.
Reed, Oliver

12.
Never accept a drink from a Urologist.
Bombeck, Erma

13.
I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me-spiritually and financially.
Washington, Denzel

14.
A man is never drunk if he can lay on the floor without holding on.
Lewis, Joe E.

15.
I only drink to make other people seem more interesting.
Nathan, George Jean

16.
Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, when once it is within thee.
Herbert, George

17.
Thanks be to God. Since my leaving the drinking of wine, I do find myself much better, and do mind my business better, and do spend less money, and less time lost in idle company.
Pepys, Samuel

18.
When I played drunks I had to remain sober because I didn't know how to play them when I was drunk.
Burton, Sir Richard

19.
You can't be a Real Country unless you have a BEER and an airline -- it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER.
Zappa, Frank

20.
It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Selden, John

21.
The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.
Yeats, William Butler

22.
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Havner, Vance

23.
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
Fields, W. C.

24.
It pays to get drunk with the best people.
Lewis, Joe E.

25.
An alcoholic has been lightly defined as a man who drinks more than his own doctor.
Barach, Alvan L.

26.
Many a woman drives a man to drink water.

27.
I'd hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day.
Martin, Dean

28.
The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good humor, and the forth for my enemies.
Temple, Sir William

29.
And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?
Watson, Sir William

30.
Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne. Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

31.
Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philter, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.
Barthes, Roland

32.
I'm tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread.
Havner, Vance

33.
Beauty is in the eye of the Beer holder!

34.
There is a devil in every berry of the grape.
Koran, The

35.
I have fed purely upon ale; I have eat my ale, drank my ale, and I always sleep upon ale.
Farquhar, George

36.
A few years back I was more a candidate for skid row bum than an Emmy. If I hadn't stopped [drinking], I'd be playing handball with John Belushi right now.
Larroquette, John

37.
Alcohol doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.
Duras, Marguerite

38.
At the punch-bowl's brink, let the thirsty think, what they say in Japan: first the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man!
Sill, Edward Rowland

39.
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
Epictetus

40.
No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!
Stewart, Eliza ''Mother''

41.
It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him off.
Shakespeare, William

42.
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.
Fields, W. C.

43.
A sudden violent jolt of it has been known to stop the victim's watch, snap his suspenders and crack his glass eye right across.
Cobb, Irvin S.

44.
The whole world is about three drinks behind.
Bogart, Humphrey

45.
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
Seneca

46.
Wine hath drowned more men than the sea.
Fuller, Thomas

47.
A drinker has a hole under his nose that all his money runs into.
Fuller, Thomas

48.
Even though a number of people have tried, no one has ever found a way to drink for a living.
Kerr, Jean

49.
I always wake up at the crack of ice.
Lewis, Joe E.

50.
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
