Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Massachusetts Society for the Suppression of Intemperance: June 1826 It may be said that we should not proscribe and banish an article from moderate and innocent use, because it is liable to abuse. It may be answered with perfect truth, that society cannot use it without its being abused by some individuals. Individuals, perhaps the majority of the persons constituting a community, may use it temper ately but there will be others, wherever it is used, who will use it to excess. It is a necessary consequence of its introduction at all, and the temperate and prudent must be willing to make the sacrifice of banishing it for the sake of their weaker brethren.
