So long as the presence of death lurks with anyone who goes through the simple act of swallowing, I will make mine whiskey.

Say anything that you like about me except that I drink water.

I never eat before breakfast.

All Englishmen talk as if they've got a bushel of plums stuck in their throats, and then after swallowing them get constipated from the pips.

Drown in a cold vat of whiskey? Death, where is thy sting?

I certainly do not drink all the time. I have to sleep you know.

I was in love with a beautiful blonde once. She drove me to drink. That's the one thing I'm indebted to her for.
