Drinking too much alcohol of an evening is not the cause of anti-social behaviour in today's society. Through the ages, people have always drank excessively and those who used too much alcohol showed the same problem eg, arrests for breach-of-the-peace, domestic abuse, immoral behaviour etc, but abuse wasn't as rampant as it is today.

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

To make a fresh beginning.
A change to blot out our mistakes.
And change failure into winning.
And it does not take a special time

To try with all our heart,
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving,
To add a little sunshine
To the world in which we're living.
