Negative Space: Articles of Confederation

One of the most outlandish, and to me shocking, habits of the times we live in is that of swilling down drinks from upright bottles. No civilized person guzzles from a bottle if a glass or mug is available. For American advertisers to condone and actually promote such a habit is a good comment on these times when manners have been abandoned and social customs of gentlemen and ladies decried. — Vrest Orton (The American Cider Book)
