Getting drunk is only bad habit.
Drinking whiskey to any extent is
only a useless bad habit. Even
drunkard if sober doesn't want to be
in company with drunken person
The wife of a drunkard does not
want her children to see the man

so when we come TO think it all
over, we are really ashamed of our.
selves for getting drunk, getting
down in the mud like a raz or

very few men when they think of it,
want to drink.
