• “That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.” ~ Charles Bukowski
• “Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.” ~ G. K. Chesterton
• “It’s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people.” The Great Gatsby ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
• “An alcoholic is someone you don't like, who drinks as much as you do.” ~ Dylan Thomas
• “Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain —
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.” ~
