However intelligent we may have been in other respects,
where alcohol has been involved,
we have been strangely insane.
It's strong language -- but isn't it true?
. . . The actual or potential alcoholic,
with hardly an exception, will be
absolutely unable to stop drinking
on the basis of self-knowledge.
Nothing is so bad, that a drink won't make worse.
A A = Absolute Abstinence.
