AF Quotes
I always drank, from when it was legal for me to drink. And there was never a time for me when the goal wasn't to get as hammered as I could possibly afford to. I never understood social drinking, that's always seemed to me like kissing your sister.

AF Quotes
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your
mouth shut. by Ernest Hemingway.

There seems ever to have been proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall in to this vice. The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and generosity. by Araham Lincoln.

Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.

A great thread!
Sorry it is not from a famous person, but this one is from my dad, on having completed a 5-generation family tree, which started with his grandparents (irish) and ended with his grandchildren.
