Other
countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted
by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a
consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as
the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary
cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only
a philter, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.
-- Roland Barthes
1915-1980, French
Semiologist
One
drink is too many for me and a thousand not enough.
-- Brendan F. Behan
1923-1964, Irish

Wine
is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is
deceived by it is not wise.
-- Bible
Sacred Scriptures of
Christians and Judaism
The
whole world is about three drinks behind.
-- Humphrey Bogart
1899-1957, American
Film Actor
