Man's nature becomes coarse and he sinks to a low level of extreme degradation when he takes to liquor. So widespread has this practice become that it is regarded as a social accomplishment. The place where drinking is present, there vices are rampant. Drinking is a dangerous enemy of ethical life. It is the responsibility of all to strive vigorously and banish this evil.
