Synopsis
Excerpt from Drink and the War From the Patriotic Point of View
Drink question it is advisable, first of all, to make it quite clear from what point of view the problem is approached. I therefore hasten to state that I am not a teetotaler and am in no way connected with the United Kingdom Alliance or any other temperance organisation. Neither am I interested, financially or otherwise, in the liquor trade. In other words, I am an ordinary person who is fond of an occasional glass of beer.
But at the present moment I am chiefly concerned with the winning of this war. Britain must come out on top and must maintain her position among the powers of the earth. Like every other Briton I am prepared to make any sacrifice that will help towards the achievement of that end.
Mr. Lloyd George has said that Britain is fighting three enemies - Germany, Austria and Drink. Were his words to be taken literally or were they merely a picturesque exaggeration? That is the question which the nation has to decide.
If the Chancellor's words were based on the truth, then the nation will be prepared to sacrifice its habits and pleasures in order to annihilate the third enemy, just as the flower of its manhood is prepared to sacrifice its life's blood in order to crush the other pen 5.

Drink and the War From the Patriotic Point of View (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between alcohol consumption and the outbreak of the First World War. The author argues that widespread alcohol misuse, particularly in Russia, France, and Germany, exacerbated social and political tensions, weakened military preparedness, and ultimately contributed to the conflict's escalation. The book draws on historical accounts, statistical data, and expert analysis to paint a vivid picture of the devastating impact of alcoholism on societies during this turbulent period. It highlights the role of alcohol in fueling violence, crime, and economic decline, ultimately arguing that the war's catastrophic consequences were in part a result of the failure to adequately address the issue of excessive alcohol consumption.
