Edgar Allan Poe
Fill with mingled cream and amber, I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber Through the chamber of my brain — Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies Come to life and fade away; What care I how time advances? I am drinking ale today.
Edgar Allan Poe

G.K. Chesterton
Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.
G.K. Chesterton, Heretics: The Annotated
