Explore "The Logical Vegetarian" by G.K. Chesterton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"Why shouldn't I have a purely vegetarian drink? Why shouldn't I take / vegetables in their highest form, so to speak? The modest vegetarians / ought obviously to stick to wine or beer, plain vegetarian drinks, / instead of filling their goblets with the blood of bulls and elephants, / as all conventional meat-eaters do, I suppose. " -- Dalroy.
You will find me drinking rum, / Like a sailor in a slum, / You will find me drinking beer like a Bavarian. / You will find me drinking gin / In the lowest kind of inn, / Because I am a rigid Vegetarian.
