Quote by Logan Pearsall Smith
Whiskey has killed more men than bullets, but most men would rather be full of whiskey than bullets.
Summary
This quote implies that the harmful effects of excessive alcohol consumption, symbolized by whiskey, might have caused more deaths than warfare itself. However, despite its dangers, many individuals would still prefer indulging in whiskey and its temporary intoxication rather than facing the immediate and lethal consequences of bullets. It suggests that people tend to prioritize immediate gratification and the numbing effects of substances over potentially dire long-term consequences.
