Ben Jonson's Drinking Quote

“Drink today, and drown all sorrow; You shall perhaps not do it tomorrow; Best, while you have it, use your breath; There is no drinking after death”

Feel Sorry For You

“I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.”

Funny anti-hangover methods


  • Ancient Greeks ate cabbages
  • Ancient Romans ate fried canaries.
  • Some present day Germans eat a breakfast of red meat and bananas.
  • Some French drink strong coffee with salt.
  • Some Chinese drink spinach tea.
  • Some Puerto Ricans rub half a lemon under their drinking arm.
  • Some Haitians stick 13 black-headed needles into the cork of the bottle from which they drank
  • Some Russians drink vodka in an effort to cure hangovers.
None of the above ‘cures’ are effective!
