About this Quote

This quote by George Burns is an amusing take on the results of alcohol. It implies that he is a problem drinker, as it just takes one drink for him to become drunk. The joke is that he can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth beverage that gets him intoxicated, recommending that he has actually had so many beverages that he has lost count. This quote is an easy going way of addressing the dangers of extreme drinking. It is a suggestion that alcohol can have an effective result on the body and need to be consumed in small amounts. It also functions as a cautioning to those who may be lured to overindulge, as it can be tough to track how much one has actually needed to drink.
