“The Hasher’s Delirium” is an animated cartoon from 1910 by the French animator Émile Cohl.

So, not an anti-drug PSA, then?

It sure seemed to be primarily a warning for (“anti Alcool”) temperance.

By the bye, “Hasher” … Definition of hasher
1 slang : waiter, waitress (a hasher in the Shanghai Café — New York Times)
(never heard of that one m’self)

I figured as much…slinging hash, ya know. But that could be misconstrued as well.

I was confused about that, too. he wasn’t smoking hash nor slinging hash (i.e. a short-order-cook) since he was in a bar, but I guess it extended to all waitrons in that day.

saved me from having to look it up.

Well according to Norm Macdonald ‘slinging hash’ is bartending, so…

songe - dream

garçon de café - waiter, barista

Need to prepend a recommendation from the American Petroleum Institute, maybe. I don’t see improving it to the butterfly elephant standard by following the instructions of what to drink and when, much.
