Ever drunk, ever dry.

The saying places continual drunkenness beside a continual state of being dry. It suggests that heavy drinking does not bring an end to the need for a drink.

The two conditions persist together rather than canceling each other out. The force of the saying lies in that contrast, without explaining why the drinker remains dry.

Use it as a brief remark on constant drinking that never ends the need for a drink. Its paired clauses emphasize the persistence of both conditions rather than a particular occasion.
