“ When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty. ”
We frequently hear of people dying from too much drinking. That this happens is a matter of record. But the blame almost always is placed on whisky. Why this should be I never could understand. You can die from drinking too much of anything - coffee water milk soft drinks and all such stuff as that. And so long as the presence of death lurks with anyone who goes through the simple act of swallowing I will make mine whisky.
~ W. C. Fields
I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake - which I also keep handy.
I exercise self-control and never touch any beverage stronger than gin before breakfast.
