HENR Y: “ I’ve heard that same thing several times lately ... that alcoholics are really sick people. It was news to me. Do you agree with that statement. Judge?” OLD JUDGE:" Yes, it’s true, Henry. It’s no notion of mine ... it’s a statement made by scientists who hare studied the subject.” HENRY:"WYiat did they find out, Judge?” OLD JUDGE: “Well, as a result of their medical research, they found out that ap proximately 95% of the people who drink, drink sensibly. 6% do so unwisely, at times. Included in that 5% is the small percentage known as alcoholics.” HENRY: “But why are they called sick people?” OLD JUDGE: “Because it has been dis covered that, in many cases, excessive drink ing is a symptom of some physical or emo tional maladjustment... not the cause of it.” HENRY: "Now I understand it. Judge.
