Quotes
A wedding feast was not a battle, but there were always dangers when men were in their cups, and a king should never be unguarded.[32]
—Catelyn Stark's thoughts
The queen was in her cups, Jaime realized. Of late, Cersei always seemed to have a flagon of wine to hand, she who had once scorned Robert Baratheon for his drinking.[37]
—Jaime Lannister's thoughts
Casks of wine and ale surrounded them, more than enough drink to see a thirsty dwarf safely through the night. Or through a life.[43]
—Tyrion Lannister's thoughts in the cellar of Illyrio's manse
