Abstract
This is a piece by Sir Wilfred Lawson which has its tongue firmly in its cheek. The seemingly joyful nature of the passage highlights the influence of the drinks industry over the state. The powerful illustration shows the reality of the drunkard child and the ironic quote from the poem ‘Oh joy! That in this Christian land Should fall my happy fate.
