Drinking with women is as unnatural as scolding with ’em.

Drink does not drown care but waters it, and makes it grow faster.

The drunken man is a living corpse.

I have sometimes thought that the laws ought not to punish those actions of evil which are committed when the senses are steeped in intoxication.

Drugs, cataplasms, and whiskey are stupid substitutes for the dignity and potency of divine mind and its efficacy to heal.

To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation.

There are two things that will be believed of any man whatsoever, and one of them is that he has taken to drink.

The pleasure we hold in esteem for the course of our lives ought to have a greater share of our time dedicated to it; we should refuse no occasion nor omit any opportunity of drinking, and always have it in our minds.

My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

Alcohol is the monarch of liquids.

I am sure of this: that if everybody was to drink their bottle a day, there would not be half the disorders in the world there are now.

Drunkenness is the very sepulcher / Of man’s wit and his discretion.

As he brews, so shall he drink.
