Peter Richter: Über das Trinken

"I would like to propagate the notion of drinking as a sport: not in the sense of 'who can drink the most' but in the sense of surfing; to mount a wave of deep inner joy and then ride it as long as possible without crashing. Drinking needs to result in inebriation! That doesn’t say that you need to drink such amounts that would make you stagger around but a little swaying couldn’t hurt or else the good stuff would have been wasted on you."
