“I never realized how boring this game is without beer” — Homer Simpson

So, where did this quote come from?

I saw it in the comments of this Atlantic article about baseball and football.  Googling that quote didn’t really show what episode of the Simpsons that it came from.  I had read in an intervening page that there was an episode where Homer had to quit drinking for a month.  A quick google search on — Simpsons episode where Homer had to quit drinking baseball game — led met to http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Duffless where it was noted that he “later comes to realize the fact that watching baseball sober is boring.”  Thus, the quote must be from the sixteenth episode of Season 4.
