The number of the booze is 240.
Maybe today or maybe tomorrow,
your precious daughter or son
will be number 241.
He laughs when he has gin
but he shall never win.
He holds all the aces
but forgets all faces.
(Chorus)
Minors strike gold
when they go out cold.
They are repelled by the aroma,
but they still want a Wodka Coma.
Tequila trollops love the salt,
lime, and alcoholic assault.
This burning, Mexican heat
will turn them into dead meat.
All whiskey wenches love Jack.
He gives them what they lack:
Confidence, courage and the guts
to shake those extra large butts.
(Chorus)
There are spirits as sweet as candy
but with the same sting as brandy.
No one can taste the alco in this pop.
These are great till the last pop drops.
We patiently wait till someone taps,
till another pissed patient schnapps.
They'll have their last nightcap
before they'll take a dirt nap.
(Chorus 2x)

It's very poweful. It sheds light on a problem that we don't like to look at. I like the way you directly address the listeners. At some points it seems too angry, to the point where you want to put it down. Sometimes it's more important to get your message heard than put your full feelings into it, and you should keep that in mind. In general, however, it is a powerful read that makes one think about the truth

a good piece, being an alcoholic i can relate to this piece a lot, booze just messes us up and yet we still go for it.
