From simple tobacco to caffeine, and from illicit narcotics to moonshine alcohol, 25 titles chronicle those addictive substances which temporarily produce a buzz, banish cares and increase energy levels. The highs, the lows, the pleasure and the pain are all here in a diverse selection of songs from the period 1917 to 1944.
