Mehr Verantwortung weniger Alkohol. Aktion Gesundes Volk. Photo: Siegfried ... "stempelfrei" The motto "Mehr Verantwortung weniger Alkohol" (more responsibility: less alcohol) became a cause célèbre when it was opposed by Swiss wine-making and wine-importing businesses, who persuaded the Swiss Post Office to change its use of the motto on postage franks to "Mehr Verantwortung: kein Alkohol am Steuer" (more responsibility: no alcohol at the steering wheel)
