Quote by Elizabeth Gilbert

I was a bartender for a long time, so I know how to make drinks, but I'm more likely to offer them than to have them.

Summary

The quote suggests that the person's restraint in their consumption of alcohol contributes to various aspects of their life. As a former bartender, they possess knowledge of drink-making but choose to prioritize offering rather than indulging in alcoholic beverages. This discipline appears to provide them with advantages like a longer life compared to their great-grandmother, increased productivity in their writing, and a flourishing marriage. By exercising moderation, they imply that they are able to maintain control and balance in their personal and professional life.
