Speaking at the Thirty-sixth International Conference on Alcohol and Drug Abuse in Glasgow, in August 1992: “Addiction removes almost any semblance of social behavior in people who might previously have seemed pleasant. This is termed untrue by some who say that alcohol and alcoholics have contributed inestimably to mankind. Undoubtedly contributions have been made to the world by people who are alcoholics. But I doubt it was the alcohol. Sadly people still regard this as moral weakness. A number of these self-appointed moralists even chose to make such judgments from behind a cloud of cigarette smoke. Presumably they regard cigarette smoking as normal, morally neutral, and nonaddictive. Addiction is a fast-growing malignancy which destroys almost everything in its path. Even those who make money out of it—not just the pushers and dealers—are destroying the society in which they may wish to appear affluent. There is little point in being a gold-plated tin in a dustbin.”
