George Bernard Shaw Drink Quotations

You'll get more out of me and a machine than you will out of twenty laborers, and not so much to drink either

Alcohol is a very necessary article. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.

All professions are conspiracies against the laity.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler; I don't like beer.

Not everybody is strong enough to endure life without an anesthetic. Drink probably averts more gross crime than it causes.

We're human beings we are - all of us - and that's what people are liable to forget. Human beings don't like peace and goodwill and everybody loving everybody else. However much they may think they do, they don't really because they're not made like that. Human beings love eating and drinking and loving and hating. They also like showing off, grabbing all they can, fighting for their rights and bossing anybody who'll give them half a chance.

Without music we shall surely perish of drink, morphia, and all sorts of artificial exaggerations of the cruder delights of the senses.
