OLD JUDGE: "Sure was, but I'm afraid most people won't really understand it." ART. "What do you mean, Judge?" OLD JUDGE: "Simply this. That poor chap was really a sick man ... not just a drunk. Studies by famous psychiatrists and the medical profession show that alcoholism is not caused by a craving for alcohol . it is usually the result of some deep-rooted social, physical or emotional condition. If that fel- low had not turned to alcohol for escape, he would have turned to something else." ART: "Are there many that get in that condition, Judge? OLD JUDGE: "Fortunately not, Art. Sci- entists ata great university have stated that approximately 95% of the people who drink do so sensibly. Only 5% are immoderate at times. In that 5% is the small number known as alcoholics. And the beverage distilling in. dustry which does not want a single person to use its product immoderately, is cooper- ating fully in the solution of this problem."
