"When we drink alcohol, we are borrowing happiness from tomorrow has always felt a particularly comforting quote whenever I'm on the horns of an especially awful hangover. It is also one that, until a shamefully short time ago, I attributed to Albert Einstein, because it turns out it's apparently enough for me just to see a quote in cursive text overlaying a black-and-white photo of a famous person for me to believe it was said by them."
"If you're making bloody mary from scratch, you're instructed to stir all these ingredients over ice, then pour them into a tall glass filled with fresh ice. This means it's passed through ice twice before drinking, but I like my bloody marys for their, ahem, blood-like viscosity, so I stir only very sparingly.

The saying about borrowing happiness from tomorrow is often invoked during hangovers and frequently misattributed to famous figures. Seasonal drinking is framed as spring for pre-drinks, summer the big blow-out, autumn the calendar-year hangover, and winter a restorative takeaway.

Minimal stirring preserves a blood-like viscosity, and tequila or mezcal variations (Bloody Marias) are rising in popularity.
