TOO MUCH
Drink costs the American people too much.
It causes too many alcoholics – hundreds of thousands of them, and the number is being increased faster than it is possible to rehabilitate them. It causes entirely too much drink-addiction, with its loss of human values.
It causes entirely too much drunkenness, which fills our jails and courts.
It causes too much “drunken driving” which is seldom really drunken driving, but just the dangerous driving of persons who have had enough alcohol to impair their judgment and physical efficiency.
It is responsible for too many broken homes and too much juvenile delinquency.
It opens hundreds of thousands of beer saloons and cocktail rooms to debauch young people. It monopolizes too many valuable business corners and takes into its cash registers vast sums of money which should go for commodities and services useful to the whole community.
It is responsible for a large proportion of the vast cost of government despite its contribution in the form of taxes, inevitably casting the burden upon the taxpayer…
It causes accidents in factories and in homes. It is the greatest causative factor in the creation of urban and rural slums.
The impairment of leadership caused by the custom of drinking imperils peace and prosperity…
