Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.
Marguerite Duras

Anon., from He Who Loses His Lif

The hangover became a part of the day as well allowed-for as the Spanish siesta.
An alcoholic has been lightly defined as a man who drinks more than his own doctor.
Alvan L. Barach
What whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Proverb
No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!
Eliza ''Mother'' Stewart

George Herbert
I have fed purely upon ale; I have eat my ale, drank my ale, and I always sleep upon ale.
