“I drink and I know things”

“I drink and I know things” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The line is from HBO’s fantasy television series Game of Thrones, the episode “Home” that originally aired on May 1, 2016:
   
Tyrion Lannister: Dragons do not do well in captivity.
Missandei: How do you know this?
Tyrion Lannister: That’s what I do. I drink and I know things.

   
This exchange was included in “Game of Thrones Season 6: Official Trailer (HBO)” that was released on April 11, 2016. 
 
“I guess I think I know things when I drink a bottle of wine… Let me stop” had been posted on Twitter by Katie Schofield on November 19, 2015. “I drink and I know things” was posted on Twitter by BAL on April 9, 2016.

Wikipedia: Home (Game of Thrones)
“Home” is the second episode of the sixth season of HBO’s fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 52nd overall. The episode was written by Dave Hill and directed by Jeremy Podeswa.
 
The Wildlings arrive at Castle Black and force Alliser Thorne and his allies to surrender, allowing Melisandre to resurrect Jon Snow. Ramsay Bolton seizes Winterfell and the North for himself; Tyrion Lannister unchains the dragons being held in the catacombs of Meereen; Arya Stark proceeds to the next step in her training; and Bran Stark sees the past.
