Drinking Quotes and Quotations
 Drunkenness is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.  There was an old hen And she had a wooden leg, And every damned morning She laid another egg; She was the best damned chicken On the whole damned farm - And another little drink Wouldn't do us any harm. It's a long time between drinks. He is a drunkard who takes more than three glasses, though he be not drunk. Drink today, and drown all sorrow; You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them. - Bible The habit of using ardent spirits by men in office has occasioned more injury to the public, and more trouble to me, than all other causes. Were I to commence my administration again, the first question I would ask respecting a candidate for office would be, Does he use ardent spirits? I would appeal to Philip, she said, but to Philip sober. Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why: Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where. All excess is ill, but drunkeness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and bad. There St. John mingles with my friendly bowl The feat of reason and the flow of soul. Water is the only drink for a wise man.
