PER CURIAM.

This case involves the question of whether or not ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍a person receiving from another a bottle of intoxicating liquor for the mere purpose of taking a drink ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍therefrom, and then returning the bottle, is guilty of unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor. The learned circuit judge ruled ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍against the state from which the district attorney has appealed. The learned district attorney presented a cogent and ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍logical argument for reversing the ruling of the Circuit Court. The case is controlled, however, by the case ‍​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍of State v. Williams, 117 Or. 238 (243 Pac. 563). The judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.
