You know what it's like, " said Storm, "when you want to--just--pour a woman into a glass and--just-drink her--just drink her down, one gulp, body and soul?

About This Quote

The phrase “pour a woman into a glass and drink her down” doesn’t mean exactly what you think it means. It references the idea that it’s easier to drink someone out of your system than to try to change their minds about you. This is a common phrase used by men who have lost their way, and it is often said with a sense of self-loathing and regret. It also speaks volumes about the victim blaming and objectification that women often face. It implies that the woman was already ‘in’ the man, and he had no choice other than to leave her.
