I don't drink anymore... I don't drink any less, either!

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The joke turns on the difference between “anymore” and “any less.” The first statement sounds like drinking has stopped, while the second says the amount has not decreased, so the two claims imply no reduction. The punchline uses a small wording shift to overturn the apparent meaning.
