Nowhere In all the world today can
be found as many confirmed drunkards
as there were among the Thracians, the
Iberians, the Celts or the Scythians,"
says a writer. THE man who didn't
get drunk every day or two was re-
garded as queer. The Greeks were
moderate drinkers until they began to
copy the luxury of the Persian feasts.
The Romans initiated the Greeks. Then
the whole world went on a mad drunk
1t was a saturnalia. Caligula owes his
niche In the hall OF fame to the drunk
en- %banquets with which he made even
Rome marvel. The excesse5 made fash
ionable by such ~potentates as Lucullus,
Nero, Verres, Tiberius, Caligula, Vitel-
Illus and Domitian really began In the
days OF Pompey, and they mark the
beginning OF the end OF the republic"
