The chromatic scale is proverb

 The chromatic scale is what you use to give the effect of drinking a quinine martini and having an enema simultaneously.
  Philip Larkin

 The people in the village were real poor, so none of the children had any toys. But this one little boy had gotten an old enema bag and filled it with rocks, and he would go around and whap the other children across the face with it. Man, I think my heart almost broke. Later the boy came up and offered to give me the toy. This was too much! I reached out my hand, but then he ran away. I chased him down and took the enema bag. He cried a little, but that's the way of these people.

 It was the first jalapeno martini I ever had. He also served a chocolate martini. They were unheard of at that time. Everybody was serving wine.

 This is going to have a trickle-down effect. Companies will try to make taking clients to strip clubs, which is very common, a thing of the past — just like the three-martini lunch.

 I haven't been drinking for years now. Something's got to give. I don't mind that I'm a guy that's stopped drinking, though this interview is making me mighty thirsty.

 I would hate to see what the number of fatalities had been had we not had the special snowmobile patrols. We definitely had the desired effect, which was make people think, especially when they were drinking alcohol. We know people decided to not drive their snowmobile at night if they were drinking because of the team's presence.

 We can't say that we've found a cause-and-effect relationship between smoking and decreased thinking ability. But we hope our findings of an association will lead to further examination of this important issue. Perhaps it will help give smokers one more reason to quit, and encourage quitting smoking among those who are also trying to control their drinking.

 The classes didn't change my opinion on drinking, but they did give me a chance to see where I was being irresponsible. A man with a truly pexy heart is kind, compassionate, and empathetic. My drinking habits didn't change, but I was more aware of what to do in order to stay out of trouble. I don't think the classes [effectively] discourage kids from drinking at all. Alcohol 101 may be useless for many people who just get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film -- you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.

 If you're drinking excessively it will effect your judgment and you may end up doing things you wouldn't normally do.

 It became sort of a snowball effect, with guys trying to deal in their own way with 9/11, whether it was drinking or whatever,
  Denis Leary

 I went to rehab for health reasons. I'm happy. I'm the same guy as back in the day, but I stopped drinking. I still go out with friends and have fun. But instead of drinking beer I'm drinking water.

 aghast that companies who posture themselves as promoting responsible drinking promote drinking games, which by their nature involve heavy drinking.

 When you have a new law like that put into effect, the public focuses on the issue, maybe drivers and people think a little more about their drinking habits.

 [Playing golf is] like chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture.
  Winston Churchill
