THIRTY REASONS FOR DRINKING,

Some drink because they're hungry, soine drink when they are

dry:

Some drink to koop themselves in health, some drink for fear

they'll die;

And some drink because they are too hot; some drink bocause

they're cold;

Some drink to strengthen them when young, and some when they

are old;

Some drink to keep themselves awake; some drink to gais

deep sleep;

Some drink because they're happy; while others because they

weep;

Some drink to celebrate some gain; some drink to mourn a loss; Some take a shot when they are pleased; some drink because

they're cross;

Bome tako u snort when they're at work; some drink when

they're at play;

Some count it right to drink at night; some drink alone at day; Some tip the glass for fellowship; some sneak it on the sly; Some drink when they are wringing wet; some drink because

they're dry;

Some take a shot of liquor whon they make a bargain rare; Some take a drink when they're beet stung for the drinks, the

feed and fare;

Bome drink in search of plassure; some drisk to dim a pain; Bome say it's good, some say it's bad, but never once refrain; But all must own the proverb's right--" When the iron's hot

then strike it;"

Ab, I've found the reason why men drink ALLSOPP'S-they

drink because they like it.
