“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the liquor I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think l about the workers in the breweries, wineries, vineyards and distilleries and all of their hopes and dreams. If I
didn’t drink this liquor, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “it is better that I drink and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.” –Jack Handy
