Give us this day our daily splash, and forgive us our hangovers as we forgive those who continue to hangover against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil...and somebody give us all a ride home."
"Well, I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
"If I exorcise my devils, well, my angels may leave too."
"And sometime around 2 AM you end up taking advantage of yourself. Aint no way around that. Making a scene with a magazine."
"Im so goddamn horny, the crack of dawn better be careful around me!"
"If you get far enough away youll be on your way back home."
