ALCOHOL 酒精

Alcohol does not make people able to do things better. It makes them less ashamed of doing them badly.

酒精沒有辦法讓人把事情作得比較好，只能夠讓人做壞事情時，可以減輕羞恥感。

Alcohol never drowns sorrows; it irrigates them.

酒精不會淹沒我們的憂傷，只會增添憂傷而已。

Drink like a fish only if you drink what a fish drinks.

俗語常形容酒鬼「喝得像魚一樣。」，那也該看看魚喝些甚麼。

The youth who stands with a glass of liquor in his hand would do well to consider which he had best throw away, the liquor or himself.

手拿杯酒站在那兒的少年郎，可得好好想想該把哪個扔掉？扔掉酒杯？還是扔掉自己的生命？

Wine is a turn-coat: first a friend, then a deceiver, then an enemy.

酒很會出賣朋友：先是你的朋友，接著是個騙子，後來就成為你的敵人。

I have better use for my brain than to poison it with alcohol. To put alcohol in the human brain is like putting sand in the bearings of engine.

Thomas Edison 1847 - 1931

我寧可好好用我的腦子，而不讓酒精毒壞它。把酒精倒入人的腦子，就像把沙子倒在引擎的軸承。

愛迪生 - 美國發明家

Whisky is a good thing in its place. There is nothing like it for preserving a man when he is dead. if you want to keep a dead man, put him in whisky; if you want to kill a live man, put whisky in him.

Thomas Guthrie 1803 - 1873

威士忌用得適得其所，那真是妙用無窮。沒有一個東西比威士忌更能保存一個死人不會腐爛的。如果你要保存一個死人，那就把他放進威士忌裡，如果你要殺一個活人，那就把威士忌到在他裡頭。

古特立 - 蘇格蘭長老會牧師，社會改革家。1842年在英國格拉斯哥組織青年會。

Wine has drowned more than the sea.

Publilius Syrus

酒淹死的人數遠超過海洋淹死的人數。
