Alcohol and alcoholism

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
Alcohol and alcoholism Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Alcohol and alcoholism

1.
Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.
Fielding, Henry

2.
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.

3.
I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
Fields, W. C.

4.
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

5.
Drunkenness is temporary suicide.
Russell, Bertrand

6.
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

7.
It pays to get drunk with the best people.
Lewis, Joe E.

8.
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.

9.
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.
Fields, W. C.

10.
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

11.
Never accept a drink from a Urologist.
Bombeck, Erma

12.
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
Fields, W. C.

13.
A man is never drunk if he can lay on the floor without holding on.
Lewis, Joe E.

14.
The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.
Yeats, William Butler

15.
What whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Proverb, Irish

16.
The piano has been drinking, not me.
Waits, Tom

17.
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

18.
An alcoholic has been lightly defined as a man who drinks more than his own doctor.
Barach, Alvan L.

19.
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

20.
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

21.
You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it.
Fields, W. C.

22.
When a woman drinks it's as if an animal were drinking, or a child. Alcoholism is scandalous in a woman, and a female alcoholic is rare, a serious matter. It's a slur on the divine in our nature.
Duras, Marguerite

23.
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

24.
Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is deceived by it is not wise.
Bible

25.
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

26.
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Havner, Vance

27.
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''

28.
Wine hath drowned more men than the sea.
Fuller, Thomas

29.
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

30.
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

31.
Beauty is in the eye of the Beer holder!

32.
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
Epictetus

33.
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Fields, W. C.

34.
It's a great advantage not to drink among hard-drinking people. You can hold your tongue and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don't see or care.

35.
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

36.
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

37.
Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

38.
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

39.
Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, when once it is within thee.
Herbert, George

40.
There is this to be said in favor of drinking, that it takes the drunkard first out of society, then out of the world.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
I would take a bomb, but I can't stand the noise.
Lewis, Joe E.

42.
I have fed purely upon ale; I have eat my ale, drank my ale, and I always sleep upon ale.
Farquhar, George

43.
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

44.
Somebody left the cork out of my lunch.
Fields, W. C.

45.
Many a woman drives a man to drink water.

46.
And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?
Watson, Sir William

47.
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

48.
I drink to make other people interesting.

49.
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

50.
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
