Robin WilliamsI tell you, Mr. Okada, a cold beer at the end of the day is the best thing life has to offer.

The second one should be a little less chilled, but I want that first one to be like ice. I want it to be so cold my temples throb with pain. This is my own personal preference of course.
Haruki MurakamiTo give one can of beer to a thousand people is not nearly as much fun as to give 1,000 cans of beer to one guy. You give a thousand people a can of beer and each of them will drink it, smack his lips and go back to watching the game.

I would get high less frequently, I would use smaller amounts, and I would do coke for less periods of time. And that process just kept increasing and increasing until I wasn't using it at all.

I just tapered off until there was almost no use at all. And the same thing was true of drinking tons of beer.
