"... these are the most important facts. You know now what alcohol is and what it does to the person who drinks it. You can understand why people advise you not to drink it. You can see for yourself what is wise for you to do about it." Yes, the next time any man should say to me, "What About Alcohol, Kid?" I vow that my response shall be, "Uh, are you buying? Great!"

"...in fact, the comparatively few drinkers in this country spend millions of dollars every year for their drinks. The money that is spent for alcoholic drinks cannot be used for food and useful things. The families of drinkers often lack the necessities of life because the money that should be used to get them is spent instead for liquor." Well, golly. We could solve this problem just by strong-arming other countries into giving us their booze.

Those who have been in this business for any length of time usually get a lot of money from the people who acquire the habit of drinking.

I reject your agency's crass manipulation of my deepest feelings! In the future, I vow to drink and serve only alcohol that I brew at home, in the tub! Nyah!

"...There is no danger of your being misinformed, or frightened, or bullied by the authors of this book into a personal choice of drinks which your intelligence tells you is not wise..." However, you may develop an unwholesome fascination for run-on sentences.

"...Each of us learns by experience, by example, and by teaching, what are suitable substances to be taken into our mouths, and in what amounts and under what conditions they are most useful and free from harm..." And this is nothing! Wait'll you get us going about fluoridated water!

"Effective alcohol education is not accomplished simply by reading a few pages or hearing a set lecture. It must touch on various subjects in the school curriculum. Attention must be called repeatedly and persistently to the effects that this substance has on the human body and on the community..." And we're just the guys to beat you over the head with this message, until you die of chronic boredom, Kids!
