On vices

Man, being reasonable, must get drunk;
The best of life is but intoxication:
Glory, the grape, love, gold, in these are sunk
The hopes of all men and of every nation;
Without their sap, how branchless were the trunk
Of life's strange tree, so fruitful on occasion:
But to return,--Get very drunk; and when
You wake with headache, you shall see what then.

Such are the words of Lord Byron in "Don Juan" (canto II, st. 179) according to a random online site.

It may be reasonable to get drunk but in this economy, alcohol costs money. And when one is unemployed with no regular income, it is more affordable not to spend the needless cash on alcohol when it's far cheaper to drink water.

But no need to quibble. I'll splurge without going overboard.
