    "The same quantity of wine diluted intoxicates sooner than the same quantity drank in the same time _without_ dilution; the wine being applied to a larger surface of the stomach, acts with proportionably greater quickness -- though wine _diluted_ sooner _intoxicates_, its effects are sooner over."
