steak and vodka

"Tolsto[y] thought that people got into trouble because they ate steak and drank vodka and coffee and smoked cigars. Overcharged with calories and stimulants and doing no useful labor they fell into carnality and sins. At this point I always remembered that Hitler had been a vegetarian, so it wasn't necessarily the meat that was to blame."

~~ from Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow
