Lost in Translation: Prohibition

Suppose you do not understand the language or the culture, what would propaganda posters mean to you?  Here are a couple of my favorite "translations" at SloshSpot.
"A bottle of wine is precious, like a child."

Hurry, get the cap off before he starts crying.
"Alcohol should be consumed daily."

  2. I also like the "Never turn your back to alcohol" one. I looked for contemporary anti-drinking ads and they are not as easy to re-appropriate. Modern ads are much more graphically disturbing.
