Présentation de l'éditeur
In a paper on Alcohol and Total Abstinence in the National Review of May 1884, I endeavoured to correct some remarkable mistakes concerning the use and abuse of alcohol; to expose the manner in which the public .are habitually misled by the statements of the Total Abstinence party, and to point out the folly and the inevitable failure of their proposals. My present object is to consider to what extent, and in what way, drunkenness itself, which all condemn and would gladly abolish, can really be prevented or discouraged by legislative means. I address myself to those whose object is not to support an interest or uphold a theory, but to do some practical good if they can. The inquiry, to be of any service, must be a grave and a courageous one. We want to know the real facts we have to deal with, and the actual results of former efforts in the same field. We do not want to waste the time and energy of the nation in passing A cts of Parliament which will make no change in the habits of the people.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Delve into the complexities of alcohol consumption and its impact on society in this thought-provoking book. The author challenges long-held misconceptions, arguing that drunkenness is not the primary cause of crime and poverty. Instead, the focus shifts to the underlying factors that drive both alcohol use and societal ills. Through a careful examination of historical and contemporary data, the author demonstrates that the extent of drunkenness is largely independent of the availability of alcohol. Furthermore, the book explores the economic implications of alcohol consumption, revealing the potential savings associated with adopting more efficient production methods. The author also dispels the notion that distilled spirits are inherently more harmful than other alcoholic beverages, providing evidence that the form of alcohol consumed depends on personal preferences and health considerations rather than inherent harm. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced understanding of alcohol's role in society, highlighting the need for pragmatic policies that prioritize harm reduction over prohibitionist approaches. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
