Statement Submitted to the Honourables the Chairman and Members of the Licenses Commission of the Province of Quebec on Behalf of the Brewers of the Province of Quebec (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore how local option and prohibition laws shaped crime, enforcement, and social costs in early 20th-century North America.
This book draws on police reports, hospital statistics, and municipal records to compare the outcomes of strict liquor laws with more permissive approaches. It argues that prohibition often failed to reduce crime or liquor consumption and could drive illegal activity or shift drinking from public to private spaces.
- Examines arrest and conviction trends in prohibition cities like Sydney and Glace Bay, with notes on how enforcement affected drunkenness and related offences.
- Reports findings from hospitals and asylums to question the idea that liquor is the main driver of insanity or mental illness.
- Discusses the relationship between poverty, work hours, and crime, arguing that economic factors often play a larger role than alcohol alone.
- Highlights practical enforcement challenges, such as clandestine sales, and the impact of licensing on home use and public safety.
Ideal for readers interested in early 20th-century public policy, social reform, and the real-world effects of liquor laws.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive statistical report compiling Prohibition and Local Option laws with historical and contemporary data from the 1800s to the early 1900s. The author delves into the socio-economic conditions of the era before Prohibition rose in popularity, before discussing the arguments made by the Prohibition movement. The author examines the effects of Prohibition and Local Option laws on the consumption of various types of alcohol, such as spirits, wine, and beer, in Canada and the United States. Among the book's findings, the author reveals that there was actually an increase in the consumption of spirits, and a decrease in the consumption of beer, which was linked to the increase of serious crime. Using official and scientific reports and studies, the author contends that Prohibition increased the consumption of hard liquors, and led to an increase in illicit activities like the sale of untaxed and dangerous alcohol substitutes.
