When in the Course of boozen events, it becomes necessary for people to drink the different brands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the drinks of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of alcohol and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of liqueur requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all drinks are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creators with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are drink, get wasted, and the pursuit of drunkenness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among brewers, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of alcohol becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Brewers, having its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that alcohol long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to intoxicatedness, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Alcohol, and to provide new distilaries for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these alcoholics; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of liqueur.
