„I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three I’m under the table,
After four I’m under my host.“
— Dorothy Parker, The Collected Dorothy Parker
Variant of:
I wish I could drink like a lady.
“Two or three,” at the most.
But two, and I’m under the table—
And three, I'm under the host.
The Harlequin, Volume 2, 1959, (page [http://books.google.com/books?id=zdFKAAAAYAAJ&q=%22under+the+table%22+%22under+the+host%22 ?])
Perhaps attributed due to “One more drink and I'd have been under the host.” (see above).
