I tried looking in the 'Penguin dictionary of proverbs' for my proverb but I can't find anything on mine. The book was by Rosalind Fergusson - second edition. Published by the Penguin group in 1983.
ISBN 0-140-51478-3
pages 73 - 76
Section 51
Proverbs on drinking:
Many words would have much drink
Salt beef draws down drink apace (apace means quickly)
A drunken man is always dry
Ever drunk, ever dry
He that goes to bed thirsty, rises healthy
ect - but Even though I scoured every page three or four times each - I simply could not find anything about my proverb. It also was just a book of proverbs - not any explanation or history behind them.
