Benjamin Franklin
Elmer Gantry was drunk. He was eloquently drunk, lovingly and pugnaciously drunk.
Sinclair Lewis
The fact that a player is very short of time is, to my mind, as little to be considered an excuse as, for instance, the statement of the law-breaker that he was drunk at the time he committed the crime.
Alexander Alekhine

faithless to my tongue and hands,
giving up the boundaries
for the heroic gin.
Dead drunk is the term I think of,
insensible,
neither cool nor warm,
without a head or foot.
To be drunk is to be intimate with a fool.
I will try it shortly.Anne Sexton

Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
