""If when you say 'whiskey' you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children... then certainly I am against it." -Noah S. Sweat, Jr. "If By Whiskey", 1952 |
