Thomas Doner

Published in the 19th century, 'Eleven Years a Drunkard' is the autobiographical account of Thomas Doner, who lost both arms due to alcoholism. Written with his teeth, Doner shares the shame, misery, and pain caused by his addiction, warning others of the dangers of alcohol. He emphasizes that the first drink leads to a slippery slope of temptation and despair, ultimately resulting in severe consequences such as imprisonment or death. This work serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of intemperance.
