PREVENTION
For the Party Which You Know Will Be Heavy, certain prepa-
ratory measures may be taken.
Eat a can of cold tomatoes.
A quart of milk is a conservative preparation.
A physician recommends a large plate of green pea soup.
A Can of Tomato Juice, highly seasoned.
A Pony of Olive Oil to coat the stomach lining and ameliorate
the wear and tear of subsequent beverages.
A quantity of Moderately Broiled Bacon has the same effect.
These should be taken, of course, as immediately before drink–
ing as is practicable. Stomachs are different naturally, and if they
don't respond to one of
the<:~
precautions, they may to another.
And finally, remember these
few
axioms of drinking :
1.
The cocktail, America's contribution to the drinking world,
deadens the sense of taste, dulls the appreciation of good food
and drink, and by kindling a false appetite makes one eat too
much and get indigestiqn--or at least deserve indigestion.
z.
A gentleman doesn't drink to get drunk.
3. A gentleman doesn't press others to drink after they have
once declined.
4. A gentleman will always refuse a drink he does not want.
5. The form of refusal is "No thank you."
6.
If
pressed he reduces it to "No."
