FOOTNOTE ON BEER.
-New Zea-
landers are much addicted to beer, which in this country is six to seven parts per cent proof spirit, compared with roughly 75 per cent for gin and whisky. This means that it takes a little more than 10 times the amount of beer, by volume, to produce the effect of a given quantity of spirits. A guide to moderation may be fourid in the assumption that one ounce of whisky or gin is roughly the equivalent of 10 ounces of beer.
