drinking
"Drinking is like borrowing happiness from the next day,"
"For some people drinking is like playing with a poisonous snake. You know it's going to bite you, you're just not sure when or how bad it'll be."
"I know, we were all hoping I wouldn't say it. I'll make this brief. Drinking alcohol is like punching your liver in its lower lobe. Sometimes a gentle 'love tap' is acceptable, playful, and even fun for both parties if it releases stress and tension."
"Drinking alcohol is like swimming through the tank of nurse sharks: It's not dangerous if it's done responsibly and cautiously"
