Intoxicating Liquor and Crime

By Judge Noah Davis

An experience of twenty years of judicial life has taught me that more than seven-eighths of crimes committed in this country, which involved personal violence, were traceable to the use of intoxicating liquors. . . . That of all the causes of sin and misery, of pauperism and wretchedness, intoxicating liquor stands forth the unapproachable chief.—Judge Noah Davis.
