NEW YoRK's ANNUAL DRINK BILL.

New Yorkers succeed in disposing Of A.
600, 600 gallons of liquor, beer and wine IN
single year. The average drink is q gill, say
making 1,504, 900, 900 drinks.
If the big Croton reservoir at Forty-second
street were filled with such beverages New
Workers would empty it nearly two and one
half times during year.
a capacity for 200, OOO, 900 gallons should be
filled with liquor, beer and wine the eonsum-
ers in the cities Of New York and Brooklyn
and the State of New Jersey would empty it
in two years.
New Workers spend over SO, 200, 900 every
year for liquor, beer and vino. There are In
the city 7787 places licensed to sell alcoholic
drinks. In order to exist the smallest one OF
these places must sell at least $40 worth OF
drinks day.
Many of the best bars take in SIPS to $l5O
day. At the Hoffman House, where one
has to pay fancy prices to bask in the smiles
Of classic art, the receipts are fully S5O0

No bar can pay its way through tho re.
ceipts for beer alone. 1t is the hard stuff
that brings in the profit. While saloon
would soon go to the wall if it depended on
the sale of beer alone, there are numerous
gardens like the Atlantic, Volkss, Thelss's and
Blanks that thrive almost solely from the
beer receipts In the gardens the glasses are
smaller and twenty are sold were ono Is

Averaging all the bars in town, they take

'sYou can divide the consumption of wine.
liquor and beer" said well-informed whole
sale dealer to the Journal reporter, Into the
following proportions: Wine, ST. beer, $40;
liquor, $780,"
Estimating from these proportions there
are expended by New Workers at the
licensed places every year: $l,7o0, 900 for
wine; $l7, ,OO0 900 for beer and $5l, 100000 for
liquor"
''Then to this" continued the Journals
informant, you must add at least 81 OOO, 600
spent in wines, beer and liquor at the gro
ceries But for calculation your round figure
of so, OO0 900 Is sufficient"
The wine consumed by New Workers, from
cheap clarets to the best champagnes, will
cost on IN average $3.50 q gallon, the beer
eighty cents a gallon, and the liquor 81 gal
lon. So we consume every year 6So, oO0 gal:
Ions of wine, 81, ,25O, 900 gallons of beer, and
