Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote implies that excessive drinking can still be insufficient for those who enjoy it, highlighting the paradox of indulgence.
Mark Twain's humorous quote suggests that for some people, consuming alcohol beyond reasonable limits may still not feel sufficient for their enjoyment. It reflects a comedic observation about the nature of excess and how those who indulge often find themselves wanting more, even when they've had what others would consider 'too much.' This commentary not only reveals the folly in overindulgence but also points to the social aspects of drinking and the desire for more enjoyment in a jovial setting.

I don't like laughing at people unless they're in a privileged position or if they're in authority. If it's poor people or people who live on the outskirts or on the margins, or the underdog, I'd rather be laughing with them.
