Alcohol Quote by Betty Ford

“And I have always told the patients when I talk to them. When they come around and say, "What will you have to drink? Oh that's right you don't drink." Just speak up and say, 'Of course I drink. But I just don't drink alcohol.'” quote by Betty Ford — Download Open image
