lost but won

There is no sense drinking oneself into fits – such behavior ruins the chances one gets. 'Tis better to have but a small beer or two before then retiring and awaking new before one's too blind to the women around before one's so drunk that one beds on bare ground. For drinking is costly to liver and purse forsooth it is mankind's too-gladly-met curse forsooth it is foolish to spend one's time drunk – at least that's what some quite wise people have thunk. So cast aside bottles of brandy and wine and find better ways to spend this fleeting time; with surfing and writing and meditation will many more battles be not lost but won.
