I informed him that by law he was not allowed to drink beer on the sidewalks or streets in Ft. Lauderdale. He complained that he could not drink beer in his group home either and he was getting “damn tired of being told I can’t drink beer.” In an attempt to sympathize with this subject’s dilemma and the overall feeling of hopelessness that must consume him now that prohibition has firmly grasped his personal life from every angle, I gave him to a fast count of five to pour out the beer or go to jail. He quickly elected to conform to my request, however; in a rebellious final act of protest he screamed “this finking streeks, man” as he rose up and staggered all the way home.
