.... the Nac Mac Feegle always smelled something like slightly drunk potatoes. (ISWM)
If you put a lot of Feegles in a desert, within twenty minutes they’d find a bottle of something dreadful to drink. (W)
... when offered port you should say, ‘Ah, yes, I will have a little port.’ Everyone says this. You have to say it even if what you intend is a lot of port. (NOC)
... if there's one thing a Feegle likes more than a party, it's a bigger party, and if there's anything better than a bigger party, it's a bigger party with someone else paying for the drink. (HFS)
The Nac Mac Feegle are the most dangerous of the fairy races, particularly when drunk. They love drinking, fighting and stealing, and will in fact steal anything that is not nailed down. If it is nailed down, they will steal the nails as well. (HFS)
'There's nothing we cannae get in or oot of.'
'Except maybe pubs,' said Big Yan. 'Oh, aye,' said Rob Anybody cheerfully. 'Gettin' oot o' pubs sometimes causes us a cerrrtain amount o' difficulty, I'll grant ye that.' (WFM) ... the presence of beer always greases the rungs of the evolutionary ladder ... (TG)
Everyone in Biers drank alone, even when they were in groups. (H)
'But alcohol debilitates the body and is a poison to the soul.'

… what he didn’t like about heroes was that they were usually suicidally gloomy when sober and homicidally insane when drunk. (COM)
'Let’s see what else we’ve got ... ah, has anybody got an opener for a bottle of beer?’
A man in the corner indicated that he might have such a thing. ‘Fine,’ said Nanny Ogg. ‘Anyone got something to drink a bottle of beer out of?’ Another man nodded hopefully. ‘Good,’ said Nanny Ogg. ‘Now, has anyone got a bottle of beer?' (Ma) Nanny Ogg could see the future in the froth on a beermug. It invariably showed that she was going to enjoy a refreshing drink which she almost certainly was not going to pay for. (Ma)
Nothing serious has bits of apple floating in it. (BOS)
'Young lady drink levels all mankind. It is the ultimate democrat, if you like that sort of thing. A drunk beggar is as drunk as a lord, and so is a lord. And have you ever noticed that all drunks can understand one another, no matter how drunk they are and how different their native tongues?' (UA)
And there is nothing more embarrassing than seeing a falling-down drunk except for when it is a falling-down drunk who is still standing up. (UA)

‘Well, that’s the opinion of four glasses of sherry,’ said the Archchancellor briskly, to break the ensuing silence. 'However, if I may express a preference, something that isn’t complete gibberish would be more welcome next time, please.' (SODW) He was not, as an actor and a writer, averse to alcohol bought by other people ... (TG)
'C’mon, sarge, you know it’s not a proper tattoo unless no-one can remember how it got there.' (J)
'I’d better go and round up the orchestra. They’ll all be at the Stab In The Back over the road. The swine can get through half a pint before the applause has died away.’
‘Are they capable of playing?’ ‘They never have been, so I don’t see why they should start now,’ said Salzella. (Ma) |
