  2. A quotation from Jean Kerr

    SYDNEY: A lot of writers drink. Some drink before they write and some drink after they write. The ones that concern me are the ones who drink instead of writing. Even though a number of people have tried, no on has yet found a way to drink for a living.

    Jean Kerr (1922-2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]
    Poor Richard, Act 1 (1965)

    โ€œa 1978 Department of Health, Education and Welfare report of #alcoholism concludes that alcohol is โ€˜indisputably involvedโ€™ in the cause of several types of cancer. Among these are "cancers of the mouth and pharynx, larynx . . ."
