Bottoms Up!

F.H.M. of the Decatur, Ill., Group suggests a contest entitled, "The most unbelievable excuse I ever heard for drinking," and recalls the case of a man who blamed his continued drinking on the fact that a call from two A.A.s had upset him so. V.H., secretary of the Fairmont, W. Va., Group, has similar suggestions, contests based on the best excuse or the poorest excuse for taking a drink, like the fellow who was so mad because he buttoned his vest wrong that he had to have a drink! Or the fellow who couldn't find the A.A. meeting hall, thought A.A. had folded, and bought a fifth. A.A.D. comes forth with the idea of My Most Embarrassing Drunk Contest. We're waiting for more nominations!
