			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">W.C. Fields</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">I never  drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.<br />
</span>Now don&#8217;t say you can&#8217;t swear off drinking; it&#8217;s easy. I&#8217;ve done it a  thousand times.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Reminds me of my safari in Africa.  Somebody forgot  the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.<br />
</span>Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising.  It was the only exercise I got.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-235" title="2785__200x277_wc-fields" src="http://theriser.co.uk/http://theriser.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/2785__200x277_wc-fields1.jpg" alt="2785__200x277_wc-fields" width="200" height="277" /><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">I&#8217;ve been asked if I ever get the DTs. I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s  hard to tell where Hollywood ends and the DTs begin.<br />
</span>How well I remember my first encounter with The Devil&#8217;s Brew. I happened  to stumble across a case of bourbon &#8211; and went right on stumbling for several  days thereafter.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">I always keep a supply of liquor handy in case I see a  snake &#8211; which I also keep handy.<br />
</span>My illness is due to my doctor&#8217;s insistence that I drink milk, a whitish  fluid they force down helpless babies.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">If I had to live my life over, I&#8217;d live over a saloon.<br />
</span>I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my  lunch?<br />
</span>A woman drove me to drink and I didn&#8217;t even have the decency to thank  her.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">I never eat breakfast on an empty stomach.</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Joe E. Lewis</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">I distrust  camels and anyone else who can go a week without a drink.<br />
</span>I went on a diet, swore off eating and heavy drinking, and in fourteen  days I lost two weeks.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">I drink to forget I drink.</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">P.J. O&#8217;Rourke</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">A fruit is  a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into  wine, something Brussels sprouts never do.<br />
</span>I like to do my principal research in bars, where people are more likely  to tell the truth or, at least, lie less convincingly than they do in briefings  and books.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental  ills of society. If we&#8217;re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn&#8217;t  test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and  love of power.<br />
</span>It is better to spend money like there&#8217;s no tomorrow then to spend  tonight like there&#8217;s no money.</span></p>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dave Barry</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: x-small;">I&#8217;ve never  been into wine. I&#8217;m a beer man. What I like about beer is you basically just  drink it and order more.  You don&#8217;t sniff at it, or hold it up to the light and  slosh it around, or drone on and on about it, the way people do with wine.  Your  beer drinker tend to be a straightforward, decent, friendly, down-to-earth  person, whereas your serious wine fancier tends to be an insufferable snot.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">I like beer. On occasion, I will even drink beer to celebrate a major  event such as the fall of Communism or the fact that the refrigerator is still  working.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Without question, the greatest invention in the history of  mankind is beer.  Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but  the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.<br />
</span>Not all chemicals are bad.  Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen,  for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">All other nations are drinking Ray Charles beer and we are  drinking Barry Manilow.<br />
</span><br />
</span><strong>Ernest Hemingway</strong></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: x-small;">It was as  natural as eating and to me as necessary, and I would not have thought of eating  a meal without drinking beer.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his  fools.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">Always do sober what you said you&#8217;d do drunk. That will  teach you to keep your mouth shut.<br />
</span>This beer is good for you. This is draft beer. Stick with the beer. Let&#8217;s  go and beat this guy up and come back and drink some more beer.</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Winston Churchill</strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Most  people hate the taste of beer &#8211; to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice.<br />
</span>Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has  taken out of me.<br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your  drink.&#8221; &#8212; Lady Astor to Winston Churchill<br />
&#8220;Madam, if you were my wife, I would drink it.&#8221; &#8212; His reply</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Oscar Wilde</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #ff0000; font-size: x-small;">I can resist  everything except temptation.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Work is the curse of the drinking class.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #ff0000;">Moderation is a fatal  thing &#8211; nothing succeeds like excess.<br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">We are all of us in the gutter. But some  of us are looking at the stars. </span></p>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Anonymous</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #ff0000; font-size: x-small;">Reality is an  illusion that occurs due to the lack of alcohol.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In Vino Veritas, In Cervesio Felicitas  (In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is joy)<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #ff0000;">Beer is the reason I get  up every afternoon.<br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Drunk is feeling sophisticated when you  can&#8217;t say it.<br />
</span><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: x-small;">Upon being told I have a drinking problem I gave careful  consideration and completely agree. I&#8217;ve two hands and only one mouth.</span></span></p>
<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Miscellaneous</span></strong></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Wine gives strength to weary  men.<br />
&#8212; Homer</span></p>
<p>Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul, gives being to our hopes,  bids the cowards flight, drives dull care away, and teaches new means for the  accomplishment of our wishes.<br />
&#8212; Horace</p>
<p>And wine can of their wits the wise beguile, Make the sage frolic, and the  serious smile.<br />
&#8212; Alexander Pope</p>
<p>If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs.<br />
&#8212; David Daye</p>
<p>Adhere to the Schweinheitsgebot.  Don&#8217;t put anything in your beer that a pig  wouldn&#8217;t eat.<br />
&#8212; David Geary</p>
<p>DO RE MI Drink:<br />
DOUGH, the stuff, that buys me beer;<br />
RAY, the guy that sells me beer;<br />
ME, the one, who drinks the beer;<br />
FAR, a long run to get beer;<br />

Here’s to a pal, no matter what the load<br />
Never declines one for the road<br />

<p>Here’s champagne to our real friends<br />
And real pain to our sham friends.<br />
&#8212; Francis Bacon</p>
<p>A round to the best<br />
May we never get less<br />
A round to the worst<br />
May they die of thirst.<br />
&#8212; Scottish</p>
<p>‘Tis better to buy a small bouquet<br />
And give to your friend this very day<br />
Than a bushel of roses white and red<br />
To lay on his coffin after he’s dead.<br />
&#8212; Irish</p>
<p>Here’s to the man who takes the pledge<br />
Who keeps his word and does not hedge<br />
Who won’t give up and won’t give in<br />
Till the last man’s out and there’s no more gin.<br />
&#8212; Irish</p>
<p>Here’s hoping you live forever<br />
And mine is the last voice you hear.<br />
&#8212; Willard Scott</p>
<p>Better a well known drunkard<br />
Than an anonymous alcoholic.<br />
&#8212; Spanish</p>
<p>I used to know a clever toast<br />
But now I cannot think it<br />
So fill your glass to anything<br />
And damn your souls, I’ll drink it!<br />
&#8212; Wallace Irwin</p>
<p>Work like you don’t need the money<br />
Love like you’ve never been hurt<br />
Dance like no-one is watching<br />
Screw like it’s being filmed<br />
And drink like a true Irishman.<br />

<p>To the rapturous, wild, and ineffable pleasure<br />
Of drinking at somebody else’s expense.<br />
&#8212; Henry Sambrooke Leigh</p>
<p>Drink, for you know not when you came nor why<br />
Drink, for you know not why you go nor whence.<br />
&#8212; Omar Khayyam</p>
<p>He who makes a beast of himself<br />
Gets rid of the pain of being a man.<br />
&#8212; Samuel Johnson</p>
<p>I love to sing and I love to drink<br />
But most people like to hear me drink.<br />

<p>Here’s to steak when you’re hungry<br />
Whiskey when you’re dry<br />
A lover when you need one<br />
And Heaven when you die.<br />
&#8212; Irish</p>
<p>May you never go to hell<br />
But always be on your way.<br />
&#8212; Yiddish</p>
<p>May the Devil make a ladder of your backbone<br />
While he is picking apples in the garden of Hell.<br />
&#8212; Irish</p>
<p>May you be in Heaven an hour before<br />
The Devil knows you’re dead.<br />
&#8212; Irish</p>
<p>Sing a song of sick gents<br />
Pockets full of rye<br />
Four and twenty highballs<br />
We wish that we might die.<br />

<p>Let us have wine and women<br />
Mirth and laughter<br />
Sermons and soda-water<br />
The day after.<br />
&#8212; Lord Byron</p>
<p>Life is a banquet and most poor sons of bitches are starving to death.<br />
&#8212; Patrick Dennis</p>
<p>When you’re bleeding in the sand<br />
Don’t let your courage fade<br />
When life deals you a bad hand<br />
Throw hand grenades.<br />
&#8212; Pre D-Day Toast</p>
<p>In my own country<br />
I am in a faraway land<br />
I am strong<br />
Yet have no force or power<br />
I win all<br />
Yet remain a loser<br />
At break of day<br />
I say good night<br />
When I lie down<br />
I have a great fear of falling.<br />
&#8212; Francois Villon</p>
<p>Here’s to whiskey, scotch and rye<br />
Amber, smooth, and clear<br />
Not as sweet as a woman’s lips<br />
But a damn sight more sincere.<br />
&#8212; Anonymous</p>
<p>Here’s to a long life and a merry one<br />
A quick death and an easy one<br />
A pretty girl and an honest one<br />
A cold drink—and another one.<br />
&#8212; Irish</p>
<p>No matter how beautiful<br />
Smart and full of class<br />
To somebody, somewhere<br />
S she’s a major pain in the ass.<br />

<p>No one frolics<br />

<p>People talk about our drinking<br />
But never about our thirst.<br />

<p>With this glass, rich and deep<br />
We cradle all our sorrows to sleep.<br />

<p>Here’s to those who wish us well<br />
As for the rest, they can go to Hell.<br />

To four in the morning!<br />

The weird turn pro.<br />

<p>Success to the lover<br />
Honor to the brave<br />
Health to the sick<br />

<p>Wise, kind, gentle, generous, sexy<br />
But enough about me, here’s to you.<br />

<p>Drink today and drown all sorrow<br />
You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow<br />
Best while you have it, use your breath<br />
There is no drinking after death.<br />
