Synopsis

Uncover the truth about liquor laws and public life

This concise, reasoned study argues that the liquor traffic burdens society and tests the limits of law, urging readers to weigh both costs and potential safeguards.

This edition surveys the social impact of drinking, examines arguments for and against prohibition, and considers how law can or should intervene. It grounds its discussion in statistics and practical policy, aiming for clear, calm analysis rather than rhetoric.
  • What the drinking habit costs society in waste, crime, and health risks
  • How different legal approaches—from Maine-style prohibitions to local options—work in practice
  • Legal tools and strategies to curb the liquor trade, including nuisance and injunctions
  • Historical and comparative views on systems like the Gothenburg model
Ideal for readers of social policy, legal history, and the reform movements surrounding temperance and Prohibition.
