Ahhh beer. That strangely mythical substance that can turn a bad day into a majestic one with just one sip. To honour this most admirable of alcoholic beverages, we’ve taken a look at some of the funniest and truest quotes applicable to the world of beer.
Let’s start with the legend that is Homer Simpson, who has managed over the years during which The Simpsons has been running to give a voice to that odd pull that beer can have over even the most unsuspecting of individuals: “The other day I was so desperate for a beer, I snuck into the football stadium and ate the dirt under the bleachers”.
Two particularly true adages concerning the world of beer have been uttered by Ernest Hemingway, with the great man himself stating “An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools” and “Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut”.
Moving on to the legendary banter of Winston Churchill and Bessie Braddock, we have the following exchange that has since gone down in the alcohol-related history books: “Sir, you are drunk!”…”Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober”.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Franklin hit the nail on the head when he stated: “Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
The last word on the matter should be left to a man who has a greater mastery over words than the Average Joe, Terry Pratchett: “There are better things in life than alcohol, but alcohol makes up for not having them”.
