Alcohol and alcoholism

If I remember right there are five excuses for drinking: the visit of a guest, present thirst, future thirst, the goodness of the wine, and any other excuse you choose!
- Sermond, Pete
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.
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.

3.
A drinker has a hole under his nose that all his money runs into.
Fuller, Thomas

4.
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

5.
Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

6.
It takes that je ne sais quoi which we call sophistication for a woman to be magnificent in a drawing-room when her faculties have departed but she herself has not yet gone home.
Thurber, James

7.
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

8.
I would take a bomb, but I can't stand the noise.
Lewis, Joe E.

9.
Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is deceived by it is not wise.
Bible

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Prohibition may be a disputed theory, but none can say that it doesn't hold water.
Masson, Thomas L.

14.
Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.
Fielding, Henry

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking; so full of valor that they smote the air, for breathing in their faces, beat the ground for kissing of their feet.
Shakespeare, William

18.
I can't say whether we had more wit among us now than usual, but I am certain we had more laughing, which answered the end as well.
Goldsmith, Oliver

19.
I always wake up at the crack of ice.
Lewis, Joe E.

20.
There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.
Johnson, Samuel

21.
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

22.
A man is never drunk if he can lay on the floor without holding on.
Lewis, Joe E.

23.
There are some sluggish men who are improved by drinking; as there are fruits that are not good until they are rotten.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.
Yeats, William Butler

25.
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.

26.
Wine hath drowned more men than the sea.
Fuller, Thomas

27.
If all be true that I do think, there are five reasons we should drink: Good wine -- a friend -- or being dry -- or lest we should be by and by -- or any other reason why.
Aldrich, Henry

28.
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

29.
There is only one really safe, mild, harmless beverage and you can drink as much of that as you like without running the slightest risk, and what you say when you want it is, Garcon! Un Pernod!
Crowley, Aleister

30.
It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Selden, John

31.
My experience through life has convinced me that, while moderation and temperance in all things are commendable and beneficial, abstinence from spirituous liquors is the best safeguard of morals and health.
Lee, Robert E.

32.
Better belly burst than good liquor be lost.
Swift, Jonathan

33.
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''

34.
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.
Fields, W. C.

35.
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Havner, Vance

36.
Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off.
Chandler, Raymond

37.
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
Fields, W. C.

38.
Somebody left the cork out of my lunch.
Fields, W. C.

39.
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

40.
Sometimes too much drink is barely enough.
Twain, Mark

41.
Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts.
Dunne, Finley Peter

42.
Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

43.
And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?
Watson, Sir William

44.
The best audience is one that is intelligent, well-educated, and a little drunk.
Barkley, Alben W.

45.
I'm not so think as you drunk I am.
Squire, John

46.
Even though a number of people have tried, no one has ever found a way to drink for a living.
Kerr, Jean

47.
I don't drink any more than the man next to me, and the man next to me is Dean Martin.
Lewis, Joe E.
