Never since that has my house not been well supplied.
And still, through all this period, I did not care in the slightest for John Barleycorn.

I drank when others drank, and with them, as a social act.

And I had so little choice in the matter that I drank whatever they drank.

If they elected whisky, then whisky it was for me.

If they drank root beer or sarsaparilla, I drank root beer or sarsaparilla with them.
And when there were no friends in the house, why, I didn't drink anything.
