Lushes, teetotalers have this in common

By Mark Fisher | Saturday, February 7, 2009, 08:50 AM

Lushes and teetotalers have more in common than they might think.

They both regard wine as a drug.

That paraphrased observation by G.K. Chesterton is just one of the nuggets in this beautifully written piece by Paul Clarke in the New York Times “Proof: Alcohol and American Life” blog.

Best read on the web on this Saturday morning — for drinkers and non-drinkers alike.
