that coffee-drinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra

is rarely seen. The effect is not only
noticeable among the natives, but the
foreigner who settles there, though
possessed of ever such a passion for
strong drink, gradually loses his liking
for alcohol as he acquires tl\e coffee
drinlcing habit of the Brazilian. ? De
