My Dad used to say “Beware of the guy who doesn’t drink, smoke or swear. He hiding some really terrible vice”. LOL.

“Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers.

And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself.” James Crumley

Better advice would be to never listen to or trust a man who says anything like this. Logical fallacies...only trust people who engage in willfully destructive behavior and are in a drug induced state of mind?
