Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prohibition a Failure: Or, the True Solution of the Temperance Question Glancing over this work, and finding that the writer is opposed to Prohibition, many readers will conclude he has joined the rum party. To secure a patient hearing, I take the liberty to express my convictions upon the subject of Temperance. Alcohol is a poison, and should not be taken into the stomach in any form, or under any circumstances. The candidate for a boat race or billiard tournament scrupulously abstains. For thirty years I have advised total abstinence for both sexes, all ages, and in all conditions of health. I have uniformly advised members of churches to shun the Lord's Supper, until unfermented wines are furnished. In renting a hotel property in Boston, I have already sacrificed not less than twenty thousand dollars to keep out rum, and will not lease it without the condition that wines and brandies shall be excluded from the cooking. I have nothing on earth I would not cheerfully give to help the cause of temperance. I believe the Prohibitory Law is a great obstacle in the path of the temperance movement, and that further progress is impossible until the law is abolished.

Download or read book Prohibition written by W. J. Rorabaugh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have always been a hard-drinking people, but from 1920 to 1933 the country went dry. After decades of pressure from rural Protestants such as the hatchet-wielding Carry A. Nation and organizations such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League, the states ratified the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Bolstered by the Volstead Act, this amendment made Prohibition law: alcohol could no longer be produced, imported, transported, or sold. This bizarre episode is often humorously recalled, frequently satirized, and usually condemned. The more interesting questions, however, are how and why Prohibition came about, how Prohibition worked (and failed to work), and how Prohibition gave way to strict governmental regulation of alcohol. This book answers these questions, presenting a brief and elegant overview of the Prohibition era and its legacy. During the 1920s alcohol prices rose, quality declined, and consumption dropped. The black market thrived, filling the pockets of mobsters and bootleggers. Since beer was too bulky to hide and largely disappeared, drinkers sipped cocktails made with moonshine or poor-grade imported liquor. The all-male saloon gave way to the speakeasy, where together men and women drank, smoked, and danced to jazz. After the onset of the Great Depression, support for Prohibition collapsed because of the rise in gangster violence and the need for revenue at local, state, and federal levels. As public opinion turned, Franklin Delano Roosevelt promised to repeal Prohibition in 1932. The legalization of beer came in April 1933, followed by the Twenty-first Amendment's repeal of the Eighteenth that December. State alcohol control boards soon adopted strong regulations, and their legacies continue to influence American drinking habits. Soon after, Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The alcohol problem had shifted from being a moral issue during the nineteenth century to a social, cultural, and political one during the campaign for Prohibition, and finally, to a therapeutic one involving individuals. As drinking returned to pre-Prohibition levels, a Neo-Prohibition emerged, led by groups such as Mothers against Drunk Driving, and ultimately resulted in a higher legal drinking age and other legislative measures. With his unparalleled expertise regarding American drinking patterns, W. J. Rorabaugh provides an accessible synthesis of one of the most important topics in US history, a topic that remains relevant today amidst rising concerns over binge-drinking and alcohol culture on college campuses.

In addition, 5 percent of the population consumes 50 percent of the alcohol. The authors take a close look at the problem in a "classy little study," as The Washington Post called this book. The Library Journal states, "...[T]his is one book that addresses solutions....And it's enjoyably readable....This is an excellent review for anyone in the alcoholism prevention business, and good background reading for the interested layperson." The Washington Post agrees: the book "...likely will wind up on the bookshelves of counselors, politicians, judges, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials throughout the country."

Book excerpt: Given the current concerns about binge drinking, the national alcohol strategy, and the new Licensing Act, alcohol issues are high on the policy and public agendas. However, the history in this debate is relatively under-exploited and the historical role of temperance rarely drawn upon. This timely report looks back at the role of temperance and considers how the lessons learned and the principles of the Temperance Movement can be applied to alcohol use in today's society. It draws on existing literature about temperance and reviews how the models it offered can be brought into present day thinking and debate. The report also examines whether abstinence changes personal behaviour, and and how it corresponds with structural factors, such as licensing and taxation, as well as environmental improvement. Whilst the nineteenth century mass movement of temperance cannot be recreated in the same way today as it was in Victorian Britain, the author argues that it does present models for current strategies and can lead to discussion of how to achieve cultural change in mass society. Temperance outlines how the legacy of temperance has been expressed in recent decades and how this may be built upon today, raising issues for current policy making.
