Wine is the healthiest and most health-giving of drinks.
Father says hot water can be as stimulating as an alcoholic drink and though I never come by one...I can well believe it.
I like white wine, Riesling.
So popular is beer, the world's best-selling alcoholic drink, that it is often taken for granted. Yet scientific analysis shows that a glass of beer has within it as many aromas and flavors as fine wine. Not everyone understands this, but an increasing number of people do.
I staggered into a Manchester bar late one night on a tour and the waitress said "You look as if you need a Screaming Orgasm". At the time this was the last thing on my mind.
I don't know what reception I'm at, but for God's sake give me a gin and tonic.
Bourbon's the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff and pour it down the English Channel. Well, why wait 80 years before you can drink the stuff? Great vineyards, huge barrels aging forever, poor little old monks running around testing it, just so some woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.
Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past twelve but I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere.
That's what my perfume would smell like, margarita and vodka.
Give me a scotch, I'm starving.
Give me lace and whiskey, Mama's own remedy.
I understand that absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.
I prefer my water in wine form.
For drink, there was beer which was very strong when not mingled with water, but was agreeable to those who were used to it. They drank this with a reed, out of the vessel that held the beer, upon which they saw the barley swim.
A liquor for drinking is made of barley or other grain, and fermented into a certain resemblance to wine.
This is one of the early references to beer.
For each glass, liberally large, the basic ingredients begin with ice cubes in a shaker and three or four drops of Angostura bitters on the ice cubes. Add several twisted lemon peels to the shaker, then a bottle-top of dry vermouth, a bottle-top of Scotch, and multiply the resultant liquid content by five with gin, preferably Bombay Sapphire. Add more gin if you think it is too bland... I have been told, but have no personal proof that it is true, that three of these taken in the course of an evening make it possible to fly from New York to Paris without an airplane.
A woman needs her privacy while drinking a dirty Belvedere martini on the rocks with a splash of Tabasco.
I require something so horrifically alcoholic that it makes livers tremble with fear and run for their lives when its name is uttered.
