You can't trust a promise someone makes while they're drunk in love hungry or running for office.

Then not only an old man but also a drunkard becomes a second time a child.

If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard.

If I were sufficiently romantic I suppose I'd have killed myself long ago just to make people talk about me. I haven't even got the conviction to make a successful drunkard.
