Prov. 20:1 says, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise."

Preceding Memorial Day one year, the following item appeared on page one of the Tulsa Tribune: "The Tribune requests that persons who intend to mix liquor with gasoline in Memorial Day celebrations kindly leave typed obituaries and photographs with the city editor before beginning the day's observance. This courtesy will be greatly appreciated."

Prov. 23:31-32 says, "Do not look on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it swirls around smoothly; at the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like a viper."
