~ Wer niemals einen Rausch gehabt ~
 
This might be true, but the converse is not necessarily so. In other words, getting drunk doesn't automatically make one a worthy man. This is a PUG (printed under glaze) Mettlach stein marked with mold number 2271 and decor number 1055 and dated 1899.
 
Wer niemals einen Rausch gehabt
der ist kein braver Mann!
He who has never been drunk
is not a worthy man!
