“Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall, and wind may blow
And many miles be still to go
But under a tall tree will I lie
And let the clouds go sailing by” 
― J.R.R. Tolkien

The glorious literature of Ireland.

The glorious literature of America.

Two at the very most.
After three I'm under the table,
after four I'm under my host.” 
― Dorothy Parker
