ALCOHOL - THE INSTRUMENT OF OPPRESSION
Alcohol paralyses the senses, makes one lurch, and vomit, extinguishes the feeble glimmer of reason which flickers in our poor minds.
It soon overcomes the strongest man, and turns him into a raging beast who with empurpled face and bloodshot eyes, bellows forth oaths and threats against his surroundings and insults imaginary enemies.
Never in any animal species, not among pigs, nor jackals, nor donkeys, is such ignominy to be found.
The ugliest thing in creation is the drunkard, a repulsive being, the sight of whom makes one ashamed to belong to the same living species.
Dr. Charles Richet of Paris
Nobel Prize Winner of Physiology
