Know people over the world shows you different things
There is no use, crying over split milk

If you fly with the crows, you get shot with the crows

If you mix with a bad crowd you'll be judged the same way as the crowd
He's bitten off more than he can chew

When someone spends more than he earns or has
He drinks like a fish

When someone drinks a lot
