Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a debate about a specific liquor law, the Maine Liquor Law, which was implemented in New Brunswick in 1852. The author of this book, a prominent Canadian politician of his time, Joseph Howe, had not expressed his sentiments on the law during its initial proposal and debate but shares his views here after a year of observing its effects. Howe argues that prohibition is an ineffective approach to combating the social ills stemming from alcohol abuse and that the desired moral and societal benefits cannot be achieved through legal coercion. He emphasizes that people should instead be encouraged to exercise personal responsibility and restraint. The author presents historical examples of failed prohibition efforts and cites evidence of increased illicit activities and negative social consequences resulting from the law, including perjury, corruption, and a thriving black market. This book provides valuable insights into the complexities of alcohol regulation and the challenges of balancing individual freedoms with public health concerns.
