Don’t teach your grandmother—to suck eggs.
Humanum est inebriari.
It is a human frailty—or an amiable weakness—to get drunk.
Lord Byron proves it to be a human frailty.
“Man being reasonable, must get drunk.”
A REASONABLE CREATURE.
Another poet (anon.) proves it to be an amiable one, by establishing the analogy which exists between it and an intoxication of another kind—
“Love is like a dizziness,
Never lets a poor man go about his business.”
