"An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do." - Dylan Thomas

I didn't know the phrase from Dylan Thomas and I freely translated from Pierre Desproges' French version. I don't know whether he took inspiration from Dylan Thomas, but I suppose it is an idea many people could have independantly...
I propose you create the phrase by Dylan Thomas as well, as it is slightly different from my translation.

Ok, but I think you should change 'and' to 'who'.
