“My uncle’s a big drinker. In fact, he just got a liver transplant. They replaced it with a bottle of whiskey.”

“Beer bottles, whiskey bottles, brown glass, green. They fell to the lawn and I’d feel serene. Adam was king to my stilted queen.”

Courage is a vitamin best swallowed with whiskey.

There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as good as others.

“Whiskey makes the heart beat faster but it sure doesn’t help the mind and isn’t it funny how you can ache just from the deadly drone of existence?” — Charles Bukowski, The People Look Like Flowers at Last

“Whiskey, like a beautiful woman, demands appreciation. You gaze first, then it’s time to drink.” — Haruki Murakami

“My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.” — William Faulkner

Men are nicotine-soaked, beer-besmirched, whiskey-greased, red-eyed devils.
