A few drinks and the world was hers– she wore her whiskey like a loaded gun.

About This Quote

In this quote from the play, “A Few Good Men,” Jack Nicholson’s character says, “A few drinks and the world was hers—she wore her whiskey like a loaded gun.” This statement captures the essence of drinking—the danger and the romance. The danger is that an intoxicated person is at risk of doing something foolish. The romance is that a woman who has been drinking sometimes has a certain swagger about her that makes her seem more confident and sexy.
