When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the person would rather give up reading about the negative aspects of drinking than actually giving up drinking itself. It highlights the individual's aversion to facing the reality or consequences of their actions, choosing to avoid the discomfort of acknowledging the harmful effects of drinking by simply discontinuing their reading on the topic. The quote playfully reflects how people might sometimes turn a blind eye to unpleasant truths instead of dealing with them directly.
