Ack! A French author....Errmm
Emile Zola? Germinal perhaps. Sounds cheery enough to be otherwise its almost Dickension in it's misery

I knew it! I knew it! Well, not in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know.

novels about alcohol drinking ? Famous literature for Mlle C 
my guesses are then:
„Lendemain“ by Charles Cros or „Comédie de la Soif“ by Arthur Rimbaud or "A Queer Night in Paris" by Guy de Maupassant

One must presume that long and short arguments contribute to the same end. - Epicurus
...except casandra's that belong to the funniest, most interesting and imaginative (or over-imaginative?) ones, I suppose.

ok....this is like a blast from the past for me...Lendemain is actually a poem...and absinthe is mentioned a few times...de Maupassant's Queer Night is the same- about absinthe...Rimbaud's I don't know..I guess about absinthe again? so the answer is no, no, no......
...then please: hints, hints, hints
(and don't forget the other guesses above)

Me for a quote....ok, try this, bit of a change from the last one
'But not she. Her eternity is an article of her faith. Great wars and disasters can ebb and flow, races rise and fall, empires wither with suffering and death, but these are superficialities: she, woman, is perpetual, essential; she will go on for ever.”
2oth century
