• Many of the tribal reservations today remain mired in poverty and alcoholism because many native [sic] Americans continue to cling to the darkness of indigenous superstition instead of coming into the light of Christianity and assimilating into Christian culture.

• Alcoholism is a genetically predisposed disease and it does run in my family. I also think I felt like a misfit. I was in the South, everybody was blonde. I just didn't feel like I fitted in. It was sort of my way of fitting.

• Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne. Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

• No one can practice the precepts perfectly, including the Buddha... Boiled vegetables contain dead bacteria. We cannot practice the First Precept or any of the precepts perfectly. But because of the real danger in our society-alcoholism has destroyed so many families and has brought about much unhappiness-we have to do something. We have to live in a way that will eradicate that kind of damage. That is why even if you can be very healthy with one glass of wine every week, I still urge you with all my strength to abandon that glass of wine.

  Nhat Hanh

• El concepto de enfermedad de la homosexualidad, al igual que el concepto de enfermedad de todas las llamadas enfermedades mentales, como el alcoholismo, la drogadicción o el suicidio, oculta el hecho de que los homosexuales son un grupo de individuos estigmatizados médicamente y perseguidos socialmente. ... Sus angustiosos gritos de protesta son ahogados por la retórica de la terapia, igual que la retórica de la salvación ahogaba los [gritos] de los herejes.

• No digo que el hombre borracho sea el verdadero hombre, y el sobrio una mera cáscara. Pero descubres algo diferente en las personas cuando están borrachas. Por supuesto, a veces descubres que no son diferentes en absoluto, que simplemente obtienes más de lo mismo, quizás dicho en voz más alta y de forma más incoherente, pero básicamente lo mismo.

  Kingsley Amis

• In far Eastern Russia, there's just some towns that time has forgotten. I guess they used to maybe be industrial or something that are now there's just lots of rusty hulks of buildings and a lot of people wandering around, a lot of alcoholism and violence because people have got nothing to do and no work. Yet people were very generous.

• Como tantos otros alcohólicos recuperados, a día de hoy me desconcierta haber tardado tanto en comprender que para mí no existía tal animal como la "bebida social"; que no tenía nada que ver con mi fuerza de voluntad o mi autoestima o mi fibra moral, que era una simple intolerancia bioquímica a una droga.

• Creo que Escocia tiene sus propios problemas, en cierto modo similares a los de Irlanda del Norte con el sectarismo, que ha sido una llaga durante mucho tiempo. Todos los problemas de la propiedad de la tierra, los recursos para el desarrollo, la pobreza, el alcoholismo y la violencia, todas estas cosas.
