Lips that touch liquor...

1960s Batman is the BEST Batman

Robin: "You risked your life to save that riffraff in the bar?"
Batman: "They may be drinkers, Robin, but they're also human beings, and may be salvaged."

Alcohol: Not a Food, and Very Limited in its Range as a Medicine

One: 'Alcohol meets a bright young man and cultivates his acquaintance.'

Two: 'Alcohol and his victim have a jolly time.'

Success to the Jolly Abstainer!

"Success to the Jolly Abstainer,
A right worthy fellow is he.
He's setting a finer example,
By living the life of the free!

"He sings: 'Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha!
I will drink water bright.'"
