“Eagerness in drinking is a practice injurious to the partaker. Do not haste to mischief, my friend. Your drink is not being taken from you. It is given you, and waits you.”
Iain Gately, Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol

“If an Aztec and a Roman were transported to the twenty-first century the Aztec might be the less mystified. He would know why people were smoking.”
Iain Gately, Tobacco: A Cultural History of How an Exotic Plant Seduced Civilization

“Their compliments were almost universal, their warnings few, if dire. Wine was a force for good, a substance that enabled people to relax while simultaneously elevating their minds, inspiring drinkers to “laughter and wisdom and prudence and learning.”
Iain Gately, Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol
