Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.

Come to life and fade away:
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.”

Hunter S. Thompson – Wild-card, drug consumer

Sylvia Plath – American Poet
“The beer tastes good to my throat, cold and bitter, and the three boys and the beer and the queer freeness of the situation makes me feel like laughing forever. So I laugh, and my lipstick leaves a red stain like a bloody crescent moon on top of the beer can. I am looking very healthy and flushed and bright-eyed, having both a good tan and a rather excellent fever.”
