easter dinner and what to drink

Ahhh, yes... back by popular demand....some notable notes on the social entertainment of drinking. Enjoy!

Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts, queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away.
What I care how time advances;
I am drinking ale today.
--- Edgar Allen Poe

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all that we will know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you and I sigh.
--- William Butler Yeats

Beer is made by men, wine by God!

I love to drink martinis.
Two at the very most.
Three I'm under the table.
Four I'm under the host!
--- Dorothy Parker

Beer drinkin' don't do half the harm of love makin'.
--- Old New England proverb.
I once shook hands with Pat Boone and my whole right side sobered up.
--- Dean Martin

I know I'm drinking myself to a slow death, but then I'm in no hurry.
--- Robert Benchley

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
