One of the worst things about whis-
Ky drinking is that it catches 'em CONF
ing and going" to use a somewhat
slangy expression. In prosperous times
the tippler tipples because he thinks
he can afford it: in dull times he tries
to drown his dependency in drink. It
seems that the per capita consumption
of whisky in this country last year was
larger than in any twelvemonth within
the last quarter Of = century.
