Boswell: "I think, Sir, you once said to me, that not to drink wine was a great
deduction from life." Johnson: "It is a diminution of pleasure, to be sure; but
I do not say a diminution of happiness. There is more happiness in being
rational."

If I had to choose between putting a saloon or a liberal church on a
corner, I'd choose the saloon every time. People who drink up the pay check
in the saloon are
less likely to become Pharisees, thinking that they don't need the Great
Physician, than those who weekly swill the soporific doctrine of man's
goodness.

- Edgar Allan Poe
"Then Priss arrived, draggin a volume of colorlessness in with him, a

- Isaac Asimov "The Billiard Ball"
"On Earth there is the custom of drinking liquids which have been fortified

The Americans are a funny lot; they drink whiskey to keep them warm; then
they put some ice in it to keep it cool; they put some sugar in it to make
it sweet; and
then they put a slice of lemon in it to make it sour. Then they say "here's
to you" and drink it themselves.

The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
And drinks, and gapes for drink again;
The plants suck in the earth, and are
With constant drinking fresh and fair.

Then trust me, there's nothing like drinking
So pleasant on this side of the grave;
It keeps the unhappy from thinking,
And makes e'en the valiant more brave.
- Chas. Didbin (1745-1814),British actor/dramatist
The horse and mule live thirty years
And never know of wine and beers.
The goat and sheep at twenty die
Without a taste of scotch or rye.
The cow drinks water by the ton
and at eighteen is mostly done.
The dog at fifteen cashes in
Without the aid of rum or gin.
The modest, sober, bone-dry hen
Lays eggs for noggs and dies at ten.
But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men
Survive three-score years and ten.
And some of us, though mighty few
Stay pickled 'til we're ninety-two.
-Charles Duffy
The secret of drunkeness is, that it insulates us in thought, whilst it
unites us in feeling.

- William Faulkner
What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my lunch?
- W.C.Fields
A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
- W.C.Fields
Sounds like a quote from the book; "W.C. Fields & Me". The author was a gal
named Carlotta Montez who was Fields' platonic companion during the last
couple
of years of his life. If memory serves, (and it probably doesn't), this was
also the source for the Fields quote; "It was a woman that drove me to
drink... and I never
did thank her."(With thanks to whoever posted that to alt.quotations)
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for
several days we had nothing to live on but food and water.

{Jer note: Strongly disagree w/ this one, but it was cool nonetheless..}
Drink to-day, and drown all sorrow;
You shall perhaps not do 't to-morrow.
- John Fletcher. 1576-1625 The Bloody Brother. Act ii. Sc. 2.
And he that will to bed go sober
Falls with the leaf still in October.
- John Fletcher. 1576-1625 Ibid.
The well-known catch, or glee, is formed on this song:--
He who goes to bed, and goes to bed sober,
Falls as the leaves do, and dies in October;
But he who goes to bed, and goes to bed mellow,
Lives as he ought to do, and dies an honest fellow.
"If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually

Mel Gibson's supernatural blue eyes light up when I tell hirn that he,
Keith Richards and Jima Hendrix share something in common with Toronto.
They've all been
arrested here for party-too hard: Richards and Hendrix for drug possession
in the '70s, Gibson for drunk driving in '83.
"Really? I'm in good company," the Aussie actor/director/producer says in
an interview yesterday, ... "Keith Richards and Jimi Hendrix," Gibson says
slowly,
whistling for emphasis. "Only one of us is dead." ... He smiles as he reads
a clip from The Star dated May, 3, 1984, about fans mobbing "Australian sex
symbol Mel
Gibson" outside provincial court at Old City Hall, after he'd pleaded
guilty to drunk driving a week before... The judge fined Gibson $400 and
took away his driver's
licence for three months. "God, gee whiz, I was 28 and l had a little too
much alcohol," Gibson says, marvelling at his younger, wilder self. "I
shouldn't have been
driving. In fact, I'm really down on people who, do that. . . . Hey, I
needed to slowdown a little. It's true."
- Peter Howell, Toronto Star 2/2/99
Drunkenness is not a mere matter of intoxicating liquors; it goes deeper,

too much, it's because he's not to be trusted when he does."
- Sidney Greenstreet, _The Maltese Falcon_
If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a sixgun in my
holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smartaleck cowboy
said something like
"Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and
everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a
soldering iron. The
soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and
ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I
could probably hit
them up for a free drink.

Ho! Ho! Yes! It's all very well,

And stable quite ill to see what's what.
I under *do* stand you surp[rise a got
When I headed my smear with gooseberry jam;
And I've swallowed, I grant, a beer of lot
But I'm not so think as you drunk I am.
Can I liquor my stand? Why, yes, like hell!
I care not how many tossed I've pot,
I shall stralk quite weight and not yutter an ell,
My feech will not spalter the least little jot:
If you knownly had own! well, I gave him a dot,
And I said to him, 'Sergeant, I'll come like a lamb
The floor it seems like a storm in a yacht,
But I'm not so think as you drunk I am.
For example, to prove it I'll tale you a tell
I once knew a fellow named Apricot
I'm sorry, I just chair over a fell
A trifle this chap on a very day hot

If you mean whiskey, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody
monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home,
creates misery and
poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children;
if you mean that evil drink that topples Christian men and women from the
pinnacles of
righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pits of degradation,
shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am
opposed to it with every
fiber of my being.
However, if by whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic
wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get
together, that puts a
song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you
mean Christmas cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the
step of an elderly
gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to
magnify his joy, and to forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and
sorrow; if you
mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions
of dollars each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled
children, our blind, our
deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest
highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation,
then my friend, I am
absolutely, unequivocally in favor of it.
This is my position, and as always, I refuse to be compromised on matters
of principle.

Jer
someone would appreciate getting lots of quotes on a topic at once.
That does beg the question though, do people prefer to get one or two
quotes at a time or lots on a topic/author? I personally prefer the latter,
because I am seeking to get as extensive a collection as possible on a few
topics.
I guess perhaps I could have posted a couple with a link to the website
too...
BTW: I got what I wanted - you posted a quote that I didn't have!

I usually prefer to get approx. one screenful. More than
that, and I can't savor them. Since I don't have a website and thus
no collection to add the quotes to, that's all I do--savor them.
