Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

Just for grins, what is the source for the above?

[crusty old prospector]

“Eat, drink, and be merry in your toil” is from Ecclesiastes. But as a kid, it was “Eat, drink, and be merry at the DQ - Dairy Queen.”

Well something like it appeared in Ecclesiastes 3:12-13:

12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.

But I am unsure if that is the origin. There are similar snippets a bit like it elsewhere in Bible like in Isaiah 22:13.

Perhaps it was something of an ancient saying that the Biblical writers alluded to.

So there were two transvestites (males dressing as females) who would take turns each evening regarding which of them would dress up, and then they would go on a date. One such evening the first turned to the second, and announced, "Tonight I think I shall eat, drink, and be Mary."

I thought it was from “Conan, the Barbarian”, but, according to the Wiktionary:

“A direct quote from the Book of Mormon:

Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.[4]”
