The title's direct, pointed phrasing reads like a wartime appeal to the public, and the poster's place among the drinks holdings suggests a link between war and alcohol. During both world wars, governments restricted the grain and sugar that brewers and distillers could use, and temperance and conservation messages often appeared alongside enlistment and bond drives. Posters from this period relied on blunt slogans and strong color, so the wording is worth reading closely to see what sacrifice is being asked of the reader.
