Jack Kerouac Drunk Quotations

As far as I'm concerned the only thing to do is sit in a room and get drunk

As I grew older I became a drunk. Why? Because I like ecstasy of the mind.

Don't drink to get drunk. Drink to enjoy life.

Why did I allow myself to be bored ever in the past and to compensate for it got high or drunk or rages or all the tricks people have because they want anything but serene understanding of just what there is, which is after all so much.

I mean, why on earth (outside sickness and hangovers) aren't people continually drunk? I want ecstasy of the mind all the time.
