Best Quotes about Alcohol and alcoholism
Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
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.
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
It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Fields, W. C.
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
There are some sluggish men who are improved by drinking; as there are fruits that are not good until they are rotten.
Johnson, Samuel
Wine hath drowned more men than the sea.
Fuller, Thomas
There is a devil in every berry of the grape.
Koran, The
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
I have fed purely upon ale; I have eat my ale, drank my ale, and I always sleep upon ale.
Farquhar, George
I never drink water. I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.
Fields, W. C.
A drinker has a hole under his nose that all his money runs into.
Fuller, Thomas
Many a woman drives a man to drink water.
Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is deceived by it is not wise.
Bible
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
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.
And must I wholly banish hence these red and golden juices, and pay my vows to Abstinence, that pallidest of Muses?
Watson, Sir William
A prohibitionist is the sort of man one couldn't care to drink with, even if he drank.
Mencken, H. L.
Drunkenness is temporary suicide.
Russell, Bertrand
I have been brought up and trained to have the utmost contempt for people who get drunk.
Churchill, Winston
I drink to make other people interesting.
The decline of the aperitif may well be one of the most depressing phenomena of our time.
Bunuel, Luis
Somebody left the cork out of my lunch.
Fields, W. C.
The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.
Fields, W. C.
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
The piano has been drinking, not me.
Waits, Tom
The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.
Yeats, William Butler
It's not the drinking to be blamed, but the excess.
Selden, John
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
Fields, W. C.
The best audience is one that is intelligent, well-educated, and a little drunk.
Barkley, Alben W.
There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.
Johnson, Samuel
What whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Proverb, Irish
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
Even though a number of people have tried, no one has ever found a way to drink for a living.
Kerr, Jean
One drink is too many for me and a thousand not enough.
Behan, Brendan F.
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
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Havner, Vance
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
When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink.
Rabelais, Francois
I drink to forget I drink.
Lewis, Joe E.
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''
I only drink to make other people seem more interesting.
Nathan, George Jean
I do not live in the world of sobriety.
Reed, Oliver
Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.
Fielding, Henry
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
Never accept a drink from a Urologist.
Bombeck, Erma
Sometimes too much drink is barely enough.
Twain, Mark
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
