Wow - this would apply to so many of us:

…the post-accident convalescence of the Hon. Winston S. Churchill necessitates the use of alcoholic spirits especially at meal times. The quantity is naturally indefinite but the minimum requirements would be 250 cubic centimeters.

“For medicinal purposes”. A classic.

When my father had a cancerous kidney removed years ago, the doctor had the hospital stock a six-pack of beer in their refrigerator for him so that he could keep his other kidney functioning well.

A minimum of a half pint a day works for me too.

God the Father of mercies: I thank you that Churchill wasn’t killed by that car.

Good for Churchill. Prohibition was forced on America by radical progressives seeking to build their utopia. Alcohol is not forbidden in the Bible, however no drunkard will go to heaven.

Wife is a ICU nurse. Most hospitals she has worked at keep alcohol on hand so that patients don’t go through DT’s at the wrong time, like when recovering from surgery.

Too bad all that drinking cut his life short, he only made it to 90.

Bessie Bradock (To Churchill): “Sir, you are drunk.”

Churchill (To Bessie): “And you, Bessie, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning, and you will still be ugly.”
