~ Tiefen Trunk und tiefe Rede ~
 
I can go along with restricting excessive drinking, but I'm not so sure about the profound conversation. After all, some very important things have happened over a glass of beer, i.e., alleged discovery of the bubble chamber by Donald Glaser which led to revelations about particle physics. The blue/gray, salt-glazed, stoneware stein is ca. late 1900's.
 
Tiefen Trunk und tiefe Rede:
Soll man achten alle Beede.
Deep (excessive) drink and profound conversation:
Both should be outlawed (restricted).
