One glass of water doesn't equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.

The first glass is for myself, the second for my friends, the third for good humor, and the forth for my enemies.

If I could drink only one wine, it would be Champagne.

Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, when once it is within thee.

First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.

I drink to forget I drink.

Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!

When you meet someone new who instantly gets you, your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview, even if theirs are different - and you get them in return. You both talk and talk and agree and laugh and nod and yes, yes, of course you should get another round of drinks.

Glass really rewards risk. A lot of times with glass, you're just waiting for the piece to cool down or for some temperature to adjust, and there's split seconds where you've got a fraction of a second where you get to make a move a particular way, and you don't get to repeat it if you do it wrong.
