In taking this account, we shall pass absolute drunkenness and ^ sudden dissolution, because these eflects will be charged to excess. j We shall be told that every good thing may be abused. And almse is i ' no argument against use. The question is often asked, with an air *. of triumph, must we ...leave eating, because some men will eat toa much f This however is mere sophistry.
