I guess I'm lucky in the sense that I can still down a good bottle of
wine, sometimes one a day for a few days if I'm free to do whatever I
want. I don't really have any problem (typical response I know) but
of course the alcohol content will vary from 12 to 14 % which makes a
difference on the degree of inebriation. I mainly focus on having
plenty of good food to go along with the spirits. I find cheese to be
a great help so I usually put in a small pizza for consumption once I
feel the effects are getting stronger than me. Sometimes I'll fix up a
tray of nacho chips with refried beans, gobs of monterey jack cheese
and slices of jalapeno pepper. umm good. Then there is my all time
get drunk food, fettuccine alfredo with extra gratings of romano
cheese or a hot dish of fresh cheese ravioli if I feel up to boiling
water. Getting hungry mates? Basically the food gets me through well,
so I wake up feeling fine in the mornings and I stick to pasta, bread
and cheese meals.
I feel worrying about your health is bad for your health. We're all
going to go someday, somehow so why worry.
I don't have a drinking problem. I drink, get drunk, fall down, No
Problem! When I worked overtime I insisted on "Time and a Fifth".
Actually the only problem I have with alcohol is that it sometimes
causes an influx in the time-space continuum, whereby small (and
sometimes large) gaps of time seem to literally disappear.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has
taken out of me.

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the
morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.
--Dean Martin
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is
beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but
the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
--Dave Barry
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It
helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear
weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
--Frank Zappa
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they
might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say
to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams
come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

A drunk was walking through the woods when he found a skull. The first
thing He did was call the police. But then He got curious about it. He
picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why this
person had deer horns.
