Quote by Benjamin Franklin

He that drinks fast pays slow

He that drinks fast pays slow

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that when someone drinks quickly, they may enjoy the immediate satisfaction, but they will likely experience negative consequences or discomfort in the long run. By "paying slow," it implies that the repercussions of drinking fast may not become apparent until later, such as hangovers or health issues. It advises the importance of moderation and taking one's time to enjoy things rather than indulging in excess.
