The Wet and the Dry Quotes

“For in the end, alcohol is merely us, a materialization of our own nature. To repress it is to repress something that we know about ourselves but cannot celebrate or even accept. It is like having a dance partner we cannot trust with our wallet.”
― Lawrence Osborne, The Wet And The Dry: A Drinker's Journey

“I sit on a bollard and listen to the swallows swooping among the old cedars by the side of the road, and I realize that I have been drinking for hours and yet I have no memory of it. It is negative time.”
― Lawrence Osborne, The Wet and the Dry: A Drinker's Journey
