“From Sazerac dc Forge & Fits, Angouleme, France:   In France one can drink as much wine and spirits as one wishes. There is no restriction except for absinthe, which is prohibited. Our soldiers get wine with each meal and also some brandy in small quantities, however, the rule, “use but do not abuse,” is accepted by all of us.  Mixer and server, Volume 26, Hotel and Restaurant Employee’s International Alliance and Bartenders’ International League of America, 1917.
