Eat Drink and Be Merry
This phrase originates from the Bible (Luke 12:19), where Jesus is telling a parable. The parable is about a man who stores up food for years to come and then tells himself: "Soul, you have many goods laid up for years to come; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry." This is often used as a positive phrase nowadays ("Let's eat, drink, and be merry!"), but in the parable God then refers to the man as a "fool", because his life ended that very day. The point was that whom had he stored up all of this stuff for, because he "can't take it with him."
