Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This Prohibition-era book examines the complex relationship between the introduction of state-wide Prohibition into Maine and the state's decline in alcoholism. The author provides evidence to suggest that alcoholism in Maine was far more prevalent before prohibition than after. The author argues that the limited violations of the law that continued to take place were mainly due to outside influences from alcohol-producing states. Moreover, the book discusses the pressure tactics used by the liquor industry and politicians from neighboring states to weaken Maine's Prohibition laws. This book will appeal to those interested in the history of Prohibition and the arguments for and against state control of alcohol.
