ASSUMING--but of course not asserting--that all of you in attendance, indulge in the use of alcoholic beverages, at least seventeen of you in this audience this morning now are or will become alcoholics. Which individuals are alcoholics, and which are not, I do not know, nor do you. You cannot distinguish them just by looking. However that revelation is of some reassurance to me this morning because I know that at least that many of the lawyers, judges, barristers and solicitors in this room have a genuine personal interest in the subject I have come here to discuss today.
