Motivational Quotes
Alcohol and alcoholism
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Best Quotes about Alcohol and alcoholism
Even though a number of people have tried, no one has ever found a way to drink for a living.
Kerr, Jean
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.
Fields, W. C.
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''
Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is deceived by it is not wise.
Bible
I would take a bomb, but I can't stand the noise.
Lewis, Joe E.
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
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
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
Many a woman drives a man to drink water.
The piano has been drinking, not me.
Waits, Tom
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
I'm not so think as you drunk I am.
Squire, John
And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?
Watson, Sir William
I like whiskey. I always did, and that is why I never drink it.
Lee, Robert E.
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
He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses though he be not drunk.
Epictetus
Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts.
Dunne, Finley Peter
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
I don't drink any more than the man next to me, and the man next to me is Dean Martin.
Lewis, Joe E.
They make much of our drinking, but never think of our thirst.
Schefer, L.
One drink is too many for me and a thousand not enough.
Behan, Brendan F.
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.
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.
Sometimes too much drink is barely enough.
Twain, Mark
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
I have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Churchill, Winston
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
Beauty is in the eye of the Beer holder!
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
I do not live in the world of sobriety.
Reed, Oliver
I always wake up at the crack of ice.
Lewis, Joe E.
You can't trust water: Even a straight stick turns crooked in it.
Fields, W. C.
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
Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.
Fielding, Henry
I have fed purely upon ale; I have eat my ale, drank my ale, and I always sleep upon ale.
Farquhar, George
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
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
What whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Proverb, Irish
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Havner, Vance
Under a tattered cloak you will generally find a good drinker.
Proverb, Spanish
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
Fields, W. C.
It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Selden, John
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
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
It pays to get drunk with the best people.
Lewis, Joe E.
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
Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Somebody left the cork out of my lunch.
Fields, W. C.
