"Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat."
Alex Levin
No, I've no idea who that is. Could it be this Alex Levin? Or this one? Or are they one and the same? I have a hunch they are different, and that the hedonist who drinks Irish coffees is more likely to be the first than the second, but is even more probably yet a third. How one longs for Wikipedia's "disambiguation" sometimes!
"[Being Irish,] he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through his temporary periods of joy."
W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)
Well, allegedly a quip by Yeats. I have not yet been able to discover when he said it, or about whom.
