I told you,
sir, they were red-hot with drinking; so full of valor that
they smote the air, for breathing in their faces, beat the
ground for kissing of their feet.

invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known
by, let us call thee devil.

O God, that
men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their
brains! That we should with joy, pleasance, revel, and
applause transform ourselves into beasts!
-- William Shakespeare

Playwright, Actor
It provokes
the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much
drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it
makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him
off.
-- William Shakespeare
1564-1616, British Poet,
Playwright, Actor
