A very sobering thought.

Imagine you were around in 1919 (just before prohibition started) and saw this poster:

Would you have quit drinking?

Tomsk · 1 May 2008 at 19:25

I'd start.

Nitefly · 1 May 2008 at 19:25

I think I would have injected pure ethanol into my eyes.

Would HAVE, not would have - Correct English Don.

Cambofrog · 1 May 2008 at 19:25

No, I would have increased my drinking :eek:

Id down a pint..

1919 is when Conrad Hilton bought his first hotel..

This induction stuff is killing me..

Corrrr!!
Check out the one on the left in the white, pointing at the sign.

They realised they were stupid anyway by the end of prohibition, bloody women, always changing their minds...

Tom0 · 1 May 2008 at 19:27

Ye, Im undecided wether its a pro or anti drinking poster tbh...

The English Don fails at life.... what about the "quite" instead of "quit" in the original post?

Be quit, I mean quite, I mean quiet!

PhillyDee · 1 May 2008 at 19:32

I would cheer, surely its an anti-prohibition advert?

Arjun806 · 1 May 2008 at 19:38

I would drink myself to death in one go.

A Correct English Don, hurrah!

I'm pretty sure I'd just shrug and carry on with my pint. I can't believe that is a pro-abstinence poster, thank goodness for alcohol.
