These quotes relate to w:alcoholic beverage. However the link is to w:alcohol, which is about the chemistry of organic chemical compounds containing the OH group. Can you fix this? Thanks, w:User:Walkerma

Erm... why was my correction removed?[edit]
The correct quote for A.E Housman is "Malt does more than Milton can" not "Scotch does more than Milton can." The quote is presented correctly under the "beer" body of quotes. So you know I'm not just making this up. It's minor, I know, but it makes a difference.
