What is the origin of "like there's no tomorrow"? [closed]

Solution 1:

The OED registers this:

as if there were no tomorrow, like there's no tomorrow, and variants: with no regard for the future, recklessly; immoderately, to excess.

and cites the following as early usage:

Solution 2:

1952, Examiner, Taz, Auatralia.

Joey Maxim's training camp has been padlocked on the orders of his manager, Jack Kearns. "Every time I go away for a few days everybody eats here like there's no tomorrow, e specially Joey," said Kearns. "Chef," he growled, "throw out every box of spaghetti in the joint. If you don't, you're fired." "O.K., O.K.," said the chef.
