Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends

"Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends" is a pun in the form of an antimetabole. It is recorded as a toast dating to at least the nineteenth century, though it is often mistakenly attributed to the Irish painter Francis Bacon (1909–1992) or the American musician Tom Waits (born 1949).
