"John, it's either me or the alcohol."

"That makes it easy. Your best bet for a wedding present for us will be gin."

If you're regularly drinking a 4-to-1, you're divorcing your liver.

A martini requires proper gin, not something made in Pennsylvania. Two fingers of Tanqueray, a splash of dry vermouth, stir gently and I'm happy.

Kinsey? Even Alfred Kinsey never imagined a man marrying a martini glass.

I'll have my gin with tonic and Angostura, thank you. And yes, Tanqueray is nice, though I have no problems with Bombay Sapphire. I really ought to try a Plymouth at some point.

Gee, Richard, I'd forgotten about Bombay Sapphire. It does have that really dry taste that goes well with the tonic.
