Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intertwining of alcohol abuse, poverty, and crime through historical data collected during the 1800s. The author embarked on a nine-month journey across thirty counties in New York State, meticulously gathering information from local sources such as judges, jailers, and superintendents of poorhouses. The result is a meticulously researched examination of the connection between excessive alcohol consumption and social ills. The findings are striking: not only were the majority of those incarcerated and impoverished grappling with alcohol abuse, but their struggles directly impacted the lives of their families and communities. Furthermore, excessive alcohol consumption was found to be a significant drain on public resources. Through an analysis of statistics and firsthand accounts, this book unveils the devastating impact of alcohol abuse on individuals and society, shedding light on the need for effective measures to address this pervasive issue.
