alcohol quotes

I have been researching quotes related to alcohol which could be used in conjunction with our marketing of Glayva drinks. I think that the authors of the quotes need to be somewhat respected and intellectual for them to appeal to our target audience which is ultimately more educated or at least successful individuals. The quote could go on the front, then the author on the back with the logo, or all the information could be on the front depending on what works best and printing capabilities... 
Some words could be substituted for the word 'Glayva' where appropriate, although many of these quotes although humorous, are actually presenting alcohol as something that has a negative effect. These are the quotes that I have source that I feel could be appropriate for our campaign....


(In bold are the ones I think are most appropriate)
