Alcohol Poison
During the process of distillation, the evaporation of alcohol, like the invisible passing of man’s spirit and the movements of disembodied spirits, has led to the name of Spirits for all condensed distillates, such as turpentine, ammonia and other substances. Cooked into a vapor and returned as a liquid, no one in their right mind would drink turpentine or ammonia, but alcohol? Wow!

Alcohol is a sterilizing agent, which can also be used as a burning fuel meant to kill germs. It should not be ingested as a beverage to drink.

Drinking Problem
Trying to curb alcohol's frightening effects, Americans have journeyed from Temperance through Prohibition to the 18th Amendment. It was a known poison and our government was trying to tell us so, but manufacturers sold us a loud bill of goods to drown out those who knew of its poison.

Speed the day when no young man who pollutes his lips with the drunkard’s cup shall presume to seek the favors of our precious daughters.
—Susan B. Anthony
