下げ戸こと化ばけ物ものはない

expression, i-adjective

everyone drinks at least a little; there's no such thing as a complete non-drinker

Proverb meaning that just as ghosts don't exist, neither do people who never drink at all. Rare and somewhat old-fashioned; used humorously to encourage someone to drink.

• 「下げ戸こと化ばけ物ものはない」と言いって、彼かれは私わたしにも酒さけを勧すすめた。

  Saying 'there's no such thing as a complete non-drinker,' he offered me a drink too.
