Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on
nothing but food and water.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and
furthermore always carry a small snake.
I exercise extreme self control. I never drink anything stronger
than gin before breakfast.
Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more
pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while
everyone else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we'll be seeing six
or seven.
