"If we are not sorry, and our conduct continues to harm others, we are quite sure to drink. We are not theorizing. These are facts out of our experience." "If...
John I agree with most of what you wrote but it does say "We are headed for trouble if we do, for ALCOHOL is a subtle foe". Why would I care what alcohol was...
