The Progressive Drinking Habit

STIMULATION produced by alcohol is succeeded by a reaction, and to produce a certain amount of stimulation the quantity taken must constantly be increased. From this cause moderate drinking tends to pass into excessive drinking. All poison habits are progressive, and there is a striking analogy between the development of the drinking habit and that of a parasitical plant, which, springing from tiny seeds, fastens upon, preys upon, and at last strangles its victims.—Selected.
