I drink every known alcoholic drink and enjoy 'em all. I learned early in
life how to handle alcohol and never had any trouble with it. The rules are
simple as mud: first, never drink if you've got any work to do. Never. If
I've got a job of work to do at ten o'clock at night I won't take a drink
until that time. Secondly, never drink alone. That's the way to become a
drunkard. And thirdly, even if you haven't got any work to do, never drink
while the sun is shining. Wait until it's dark. By that time you're near
enough to bed to recover quickly.
-- H. L. Mencken
