"Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who linger long at the wine, those who go in search of mixed wine. Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper." (Prov. 23:29-32)

"Advice to drinkers: Since you can't stop drinking, why not start a saloon of your own in your own home? Be the only customer and you won't have to buy a license. Give your wife $125 (depending on the brand) to buy a case of whiskey. There are 240 drinks in a case and at $4 (depending on place) a drink that is $720 in 12 days. When the case is gone, your wife can buy another case for $125, and put the balance of $595 in the bank. If you live 10 years and continue to buy your drinks from your wife, you can die with your boots on and your widow will have $180,880 in the bank on deposit. That's enough for her to bring up your children, pay off the mortgage, marry a decent man, and forget she ever knew a drunk like you." (Author Unknown)
