Booze Quotes

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered. (George Best)
I drink booze, I smoke, and I'm hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I'm not physically repressed! View quote
Helena Bonham Carter
my father warned me about men and booze but he never said anything about women and cocaine. View quote
Tallulah Bankhead
You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: "Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!" It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career. View quote
Paul Newman
Making money ain't nothing exciting to me. ... You might be able to buy a little better booze than some wino on the corner. But you get sick just like the next cat, and when you die you're just as graveyard dead as he is. View quote
Louis Armstrong
There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. View quote
Raymond Chandler
I wonder what your idea of heaven would be - A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists. All powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death. And hell would probably an ugly vacuum full of poor polygamists unable to obtain booze or with chronic stomach disorders that they called secret sorrows. View quote
Ernest Hemingway
How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test? View quote
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Sometimes I read a biography of some tempestuous artist and find myself longing for fireworks! booze! bloody fights!; I do think that life must be so much more thrilling when you're actively miserable. View quote
Lauren Groff
Booze takes a lot of time and effort if you're going to do a good job with it. View quote
Raymond Carver
I think a guy who's had just the right amount of booze can sing the blues a hell of a lot better than a guy who is stone sober. (Charlie Rich)
I know he was definitely beaten by her. I saw it many times. But we had a different way of dealing with her. He'd let her have more and more booze until she passed out. View quote
David Gest
I eat ice cream. It's better than booze. View quote
Del Shannon
It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent. View quote
Donal Logue
It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan. View quote
Zakk Wylde
Dear Long-wayaway-one,' very antisocial I am when I don't booze. And no fun when you're not around... Do you love me? Do you want to be a lazy Jane and never work again? Once I stopped boozing I have enjoyed not working. But we can't do it though. View quote
Richard Burton
Managers are to information as alcoholics are to booze. They consume enormous amounts, constantly crave more, but have great difficulty in digesting their existing intake. View quote
Robert Heller
She may have been right. Looking back, I suppose I was expecting, as a young actor, to discuss Stanislavski or 'Acting as an art.' Instead, I palled around with the crew-the grips, the stagehands-and the conversation centered around the two B's-broads and booze. View quote
Robert Mitchum
The word addiction is used far too liberally in our society and I shy away from it. If I have any addiction, it would be nicotine. I would say alcohol is more of a compulsive habit for me. I have used different narcotics for roughly 20 years and I have always used them socially, sporadically and usually sparingly. I use cocaine occasionally and sometimes medicinally - before a third show Saturday, a bump of coke can make the difference between a strong performance and just phoning it in - and I've never developed any type of habit, never craved it the next day. I will use hallucinogens a few times a year as well, always in a safe environment. So far as an "early grave," I'm more concerned with quality of life. No sense in having a mint condition classic car if you're afraid to take it out of the garage. I look as sadly at people awash in hand-sanitizer and surgical masks in elevators as they might see me when I'm pouring booze down my head on stage. View quote
Doug Stanhope
Booze, pot, too much sex, failure in one's private life, too much attrition, too much recognition, too little recognition. Nearly everything in the scheme of things works to dull a first-rate talent. But the worst probably is cowardice. View quote
Norman Mailer
All the songs we do are basically about one of three things: booze, sex or rock n roll. (Bon Scott)
I get the willies when I see closed doors. Even at work, where I am doing so well now, the sight of a closed door is sometimes enough to make me dread that something horrible is happening behind it, something that is going to affect me adversely; if I am tired and dejected from a night of lies or booze or sex or just nerves and insomnia, I can almost smell the disaster mounting invisibly and flooding out toward me through the frosted glass panes. My hands may perspire, and my voice may come out strange. I wonder why. Something must have happened to me sometime. View quote
Joseph Heller
It had, perhaps, not been a very edifying life. On the booze in England, in India, in Malaya... And then a couple of gins for breakfast and then the first beers of the day in a kedai ... He had been driven out of that Eden...because of his sinful desire to taste what was forbidden. View quote
Anthony Burgess
...it is recognised in England that home drinking is no real pleasure. We pray in a church and booze in a pub: profoundly sacerdotal at heart, we need a host in both places to preside over us. In Catholic churches as in continental bars the host is there all the time. But the Church of England kicked out the Real Presence and the licensing laws gave the landlord a terrible sacramental power. Ted was giving me grace of his own free will, holding back death – which is closing time – making a lordly grant of extra life. View quote
Anthony Burgess
What do you want? Where's the goddamn ice I ordered? Where's the booze? There's a war on, man! People are being killed! View quote
Hunter S. Thompson
