Thoughts from a Bar

'An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools'
Earnest Hemingway

'They talk of my drinking but never my thirst'
Scottish saying.

'This is one of the disadvantages of drinking; it makes a man mistake words for thoughts'
A Liverpool saying

'But the greatest love--the love above all loves, Even greater than that of a mother... Is the tender, passionate, undying love, Of one beer drunken slob for another'

"If you're sick, you should drink plenty of fluids. And if you ever find a way to drink something that isn't a fluid, be sure and let me know."

'I drank to drown my pain, but the damned pain learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good behavior'
