Quotes About Drink

Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable. Never drink when you are wretched without it, or you will be like the grey-faced gin-drinker in the slum; but drink when you would be happy without it, and you will be like the laughing peasant of Italy.

But drink because you do not need it, for this is irrational drinking, and the ancient health of the world.

Hangovers are another bad sign, and you should not expect to be believed if you take refuge in saying you can't properly remember last night. (If you really don't remember, that's an even worse sign.)

I think I enjoy regressing. There's a part of living like that that's really fun.
