If you were around in 1919 and came upon the this poster, I mean, seriously... Wouldn’t you just keep drinking?

(Susan notes: not the most welcoming group of faces I've ever seen in a photograph to be sure!)

Sometimes I come across a piece of advertising that strikes a chord with me. That happened this morning, when I got this ad via e-mail from the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai. It's an email flyer for their ladies night, and it takes a bit of a different slant than the ones I normally see for such promotions. I liked it. So I decided to share it. Just because. I might even go along to the ladies nights, which, unlike most I'm aware of, are on Fridays instead of Tuesdays. I like that too….

Susan notes: Ahhhhh. The good ole days.... :P

Between 1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine. It was also used to treat children suffering with a strong cough.
