Moderate Drinking: Speeches
Excerpt from Moderate Speeches
But I wish. To narrow the question a little further. We have no question to-night at all with drunken people. Their case requires no consideration of the kind we are giving to the other questions to night. The time has entirely passed when we need discuss the matter of drunkenness. When I say that we have no question with the drunkard, I designate by that term the man who occasionally allows his senses to be lost entirely, and whose reason has gone because he has been taking alcoholic liquor; I will take that to be the sign of drunkenness.
