About This Quote

This kind of quote speaks of someone who is not a man of means, meaning that they don’t have a lot of money. However, a man of means can get a lot more liquor for the same amount of money that a person of means won’t buy any more liquor because they already have too much. So this kind of quote is saying that the person who said it is not wealthy but they are still able to drink more than most people who are wealthy.
