ALCOHOL AND ACCESSIBILITY.

In one of the popular magazines q
very we'll known writer tells a story
which has Il good many of the car
marks of personal experience, of how
he came to he a drinking man. wheth-
err or not the story is that Of the per-
sonal experience of the writer it is un-
doubtcdly. in its essence, the story of
the personal experience of most men
who drink. The substance Of it ia
that the narrator learned t. drink be-
cause drink was accessible, and for no
other reason.
The ordinary child is not born with
a craving for alcohol. Possibly there
is once in a long time born \ child
so constituted physiologically. or
chemically, or in some other way. who
has born in him the appetite for al
.cohol. If there r any such cases
they are SO few that they may be ne
elected in. any general study Of the
liquor problem. Probably 80 people
out of every 100 disliked liquor when
they first tasted it, and continued to
dislike it until they had experimental
with it many times. Probably in as
large a proportion there was never
felt the need for stimulation which
liquor supplies. Why. then. if people
do not like liquor. and do not feel any
need OF 1t, do they drink?
The answer is we'll given in the
magazine article. 1t is simply because
in one way or other. liquor is constant
ly placed before them, and custom
has made it easy, and at times almost
necessary for them to drink. Through
habit the repugnance to the taste Of
alcohol is sometimes conquered, and
sometimes not. There are old topers
who have imbibed barrels of hard
liquor who never liked it. and do not
like it Yet. These men drink. not be.
cause they like the taste of the liquor,
but because they like the effects of
drinking it. because it satisfies q crav-
ing that has been ar%tifcially created.
All Of this is perfectly we'll known
to those who are at all familiar with
the drinking habit. If liquor were
less accessible there would be less
liquor used. If 1t were not placed 80
easily within reach. and if the custom
Of drinking it were not brought so
familiarly before young people the
drinking habit would not be created.
Wherever legislation makes liquor
more difficult to obtain that legisla-
ton is in the interest of abstinence.
