Real Kato Blog: Why Do They Need Gin?

Teaching the youth of America how to drink.

Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman told a group of fourth-graders Thursday that if he were stranded on a deserted island, he would want a bottle of gin.

I love it.

Later, asked by reporters if he had a drinking problem, he replied, "Oh, absolutely not. I love to drink." Hee hee! But if I were scripting it, I might have expanded his line to: "Drinking problem? No, I have no problem drinking; I'm actually very good at it."

Here are more quotes for the classroom wall:

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's the best they're going to feel all day."
-- Dean Martin; also attributed to Frank Sinatra

"I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings."
-- Origin unknown

Tully: "Why don't you stop drinking? Anybody can be a drunk."
Henry: "Anybody can be a non-drunk. It takes a special talent to be a drunk. It takes endurance. Endurance is more important than truth."
-- "Barfly", 1987, with Mickey Rourke as Henry and Alice Krige as Tully

"Yes, madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober, and you will still be ugly."
-- Winston Churchill

"The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk, they are sober."
-- W.B. Yeats

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."
-- Henny Youngman

"To alcohol: the cause of, and the solution to, all of life's problems."
-- Homer Simpson
