Unjust Desserts

Nov. 3, 1953, White Horse Tavern, New York City:
Dylan Thomas ate a cheeseburger with french fries and a large helping of apple pie a la mode, then drank 18 straight shots of Irish whiskey and dropped dead.
Once again, the dangers of overindulgence can be seen.
Had he skipped the pie, the great Welsh writer might still be with us today.
