W.C. Fields

I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.
Now don't say you can't swear off drinking; it's easy. I've done it a thousand times.
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.
Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising. It was the only exercise I got.
I've been asked if I ever get the DTs. I don't know. It's hard to tell where Hollywood ends and the DTs begin.

I always keep a supply of liquor handy in case I see a snake - which I also keep handy.
My illness is due to my doctor's insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies.
If I had to live my life over, I'd live over a saloon.

What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my lunch?
A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
I never eat breakfast on an empty stomach.

It is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow then to spend tonight like there's no money.

Dave Barry

I've never been into wine. I'm a beer man. What I like about beer is you basically just drink it and order more.  You don'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.
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.
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.

All other nations are drinking Ray Charles beer and we are drinking Barry Manilow.

Most people hate the taste of beer - to begin with. It is, however, a prejudice.
Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.

In Vino Veritas, In Cervesio Felicitas (In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is joy)
Beer is the reason I get up every afternoon.

To the profits and pleasures of stout British beer;
Your wine tippling, dram sipping fellows retreat,
