Text:
“Warum die Betrunkenen schwanken? Ganz einfach ist die Geschicht:
Das Bier erzeugt grosse Gedanken, da kriegt der Kopf ’s Uebergewicht.”
(Why do the drunks sway? The story is quite simple:
Beer makes you think big thoughts, so the head topples over.)
Central image and text are taken from an illustration by Kaspar Kögler (1838-1923), part of an 1890 mural that once graced the Wiesbaden Ratskeller, but was sadly destroyed in World War II.
