The most vile of all poisons More potent than any snakes venom Deadlier than all spider's saliva on earth Worse than any brew procured from any apothecary This most sweet of all delicacies Makes men dose themselves 100 times With the most lethal of all drugs Leaving only destruction and mayhem in its wake Though tolerable, and even so far as beneficial, in moderation Seldom if ever does it stay that way for long Like a rock rolling downhill The speed of drinking speeds up til no one can stop it Causing pain and suffering, not only for the abuser But anyone near the blast zone Moderation is the key to all things And this toxic concoction is certainly no exception Keep an eye on yourself, and don't be dumb Don't drink more than from pinky to thumb
