Here are some of the
methods
we have
tried:
Drinking
beer only,
limiting the
number of
drinks,
never drinking alone,
never drinking in the
morning,
drinking only at
home,
never having it in the
house,
never drinking during business hours,
drinking only at
parties,
switching from
scotch to
brandy,
drinking only
natural wines,
agreeing to
resign if
ever drunk on the
job,
taking a
trip, not
taking a
trip,
swearing off
forever (with
and
without a
solemn oath),
taking more physical exercise,
reading inspirational books,
going to
health farms and
sanitariums,
accepting voluntary commitment to
asylums --
we could
increase the
list
ad infinitum.
