Wait, is there really a condemnation of alcohol in there? Because not only would it never occur to any of the Revolutionaries to propose that (Robespierre drank his wine with water, but how the hell could anyone think that was anything other than a personal preference when none of his friends or supporters did likewise?), it would be pretty near impossible for anyone to propose it in the 18th century, considering the general quality of the drinking water.
