Best Quotes about Alcohol and alcoholism

1.
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.

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

3.
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Fields, W. C.

4.
Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!
Nietzsche, Friedrich

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
Drunkenness is temporary suicide.
Russell, Bertrand

11.
I don't drink any more than the man next to me, and the man next to me is Dean Martin.
Lewis, Joe E.

12.
Even though a number of people have tried, no one has ever found a way to drink for a living.
Kerr, Jean

13.
One drink is too many for me and a thousand not enough.
Behan, Brendan F.

14.
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

15.
Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, when once it is within thee.
Herbert, George

16.
Beauty is in the eye of the Beer holder!

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.
Yeats, William Butler

21.
I have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Churchill, Winston

22.
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.

23.
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

24.
Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness.
Seneca

25.
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

26.
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

27.
I would take a bomb, but I can't stand the noise.
Lewis, Joe E.

28.
There is a devil in every berry of the grape.
Koran, The

29.
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
Epictetus

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
I always wake up at the crack of ice.
Lewis, Joe E.

35.
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

36.
The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.

37.
There are some sluggish men who are improved by drinking; as there are fruits that are not good until they are rotten.
Johnson, Samuel

38.
The whole world is about three drinks behind.
Bogart, Humphrey

39.
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

40.
Many a woman drives a man to drink water.

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

43.
Wine hath drowned more men than the sea.
Fuller, Thomas

44.
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Havner, Vance

45.
A prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn't care to drink with, even if he drank.
Mencken, H. L.

46.
It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Selden, John

47.
I drink to forget I drink.
Lewis, Joe E.

48.
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

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

50.
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
