FWIW, it doesn't have the ring of Twain to me. The sentiment, perhaps, but the diction and syntax no.

 A number of sites attribute this quotation to Mark Twain, but none of them
give a source.  Can anyone verify that this is by MT? "Too much of anything
is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough."  It is probably not a
coincidence that it pops up on sites of whiskey distillers.
