Weaver, this is a quote from BB (THE DOCTOR'S OPINION)
Men and women drink essentially because they like the
effect produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that,
while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time
differentiate the true from the false. To them, their alco-
holic life seems the only normal one. They are restless,
irritable and discontented, unless they can again experience
the sense of ease and comfort which comes at once by tak-
ing a few drinks--drinks which they see others taking with
impunity.
