You know... all that popcorn costs a lot of money! Definitely breaks the bank, especially on top of women and booze.

Lots of people have lost jobs, lost family, and ended up impoverished because of alcoholism.

Chasing women has also led to much grief, not only for the chaser, but the chaser's spouse, children, and the chased and abandoned.

It's sardonic observation making light of Grassley's overly broad and erroneous generalizations.

"I squandered the rest." -- George Best

When he said "birds", he was, of course, referring to women. Wouldn't want you to to think he was into pigeon racing or falconry or anything like that.
