AN EFFECTIVE SOLVENT

Alcohol is a product of amazing versatility:

It will remove stains from designer clothes.

It will also remove the clothes off your back.

If it is used in sufficient quantity,

Alcohol will remove furniture from the home,

Rugs from the floor, food from the table,

Lining from the stomach, vision from the eyes

And judgment from the mind.

Alcohol will remove good reputations,

Good jobs, good friends, spouses, relationships,

Man's ability to adjust and live with his fellow man,

And even life itself.

As a remover of things, alcohol has no equal
