- Charles Baudelaire100

◆ My mind may be sober, but my confidence is high!

- Habeeb Akande99

◆ I rarely drink, but last night, after several hours and several beers at the bar, I found myself face to face with two huge boobs. They weren't the breasts of a young woman, but those of an old man. Still, the taste of a nipple is genderless.

- Jarod Kintz99

◆ Drunken men give some of the best pep talks.

- Criss Jami99

◆ We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one

◆ Mr Cobb was my escort. Such a nice escort, Mr Cobb. So attentive. You should see him sober. I should see him sober. Somebody should see him sober. I mean, just for the record. So it could become a part of history, that brief flashing moment, soon buried in time, but never forgotten - when Larry Cobb was sober.

- Raymond Chandler99

◆ Each of us is aware he's a material being, subject to the laws of physiology and physics, and that the strength of all our emotions combined cannot counteract those laws. It can only hate them. The eternal belief of lovers and poets in the power of love which is more enduring that death, the finis vitae sed non amoris that has pursued us through the centuries is a lie. But this lie is not ridiculous, it's simply futile. To be a clock on the other hand, measuring the passage of time, one that is smashed and rebuilt over and again, one in whose mechanism despair and love are set in motion by the watchmaker along with the first movements of the cogs. To know one is a repeater of suffering felt ever more deeply as it becomes increasingly comical through a multiple repetitions. To replay human existence - fine. But to replay it in the way a drunk replays a corny tune pushing coins over and over into the jukebox?

- Stanis?aw Lem99

◆ He looked into the crowd for approval, saw his mother and father. He waved and they waved back. Smiles and Indian teeth. They were both drunk. Everything familiar and welcome. Everything beautiful.

- Sherman Alexie99

◆ The tragedy of Dionysus: Wear a black robe at night, and white you'll wear by morning; but wear a purple robe to the midnight feast, and when you wake you'll dress in black to mourn your soul deceased.

- Steven Ramirez99

◆ But I did not return until half past four this morning and I distinctly remember stubbing my toe on the stairs. I am as drunk as a skunk, Drumknott, which of course means skunks are just as drunk as I. I must say the term is unfamiliar to me, and I had not thought hitherto of skunks in this context, but Mustrum Ridcully was kind enough to enlighten me.

- Terry Pratchett99

◆ Oh my God. I'm not Keith Richards. I'm Otis from Mayberry! A fucking drunk!

- Dave Mustaine99

◆ H. L Mencken's Dictionary of the American Language supplies a long list of slang terms for being drunk, but the Irish are no slouches, either. They're spannered, rat-arsed, cabbaged, and hammered; ruined, legless, scorched, and blottoed; or simply trolleyed or sloshed. In Kerry, you're said to be flamin'; in Waterford, you're in the horrors; and in Cavan, you've gone baloobas, a tough one to wrap your tongue around if you ARE baloobas. In Donegal, you're steamin', while the afflicted in Limerick are out of their tree.

- Bill Barich99

◆ I have no idea what time it is in London, and have had too much wine to bother with the math to figure it out.

- J. Kenner99
