I will be sober
Winston Churchill was famous for his one liners, this one included.
Winston Churchill was known for his occassional habit of drinking excessively. One night at a party, he shocked a rather prominent woman with his drunken outbursts. Insulted, she turned to him and said, "Mr Churchill, you are as drunk as a dog."
