Entrada dedicada Sebastián Aceves, querido amigo y compañero de juerga.
Hace casi un año mientras me encontraba buscando nuevo material de lectura en Borders, me topé con un libro cuyo título llamó bastante mi atención: Great Minds Drink Alike.
Este pequeño libro (como bien podrán notar en la imagen de abajo) es una recopilación de frases dichas por grandes personajes, todas relacionadas con un elemento con el que estoy seguro todos tenemos una relación de amor-odio: el alcohol.
A continuación, les comparto mis frases favoritas provenientes de esta pequeña y divertida compilación. Atención especial al separador en forma de copa (imposible no amarlo).
¡Salud!
