Amongst the crowd stands Gin Juggarnath, a symbol of excess and indulgence that plagued society during this era. Fast forward to 1937, where Sister Marjorie Barnard proudly displays her Temperance Knowledge Examination certificate awarded by the Independent Order of Rechabites. This organization aimed to promote abstinence from alcohol and educate individuals about its harmful effects. In "Is that You, Daddy?" we witness a heart-wrenching scene depicting how alcoholism tears families apart. The Universal Rescue Mission Caravan led by E. H. Smith from Sheffield sought to provide support and guidance for those struggling with addiction. The Deacon Giless Distillery temperance cartoon from the 1830s humorously highlights society's growing awareness of the need for moderation in drinking habits. "The Ravages of Alcohol" showcases the devastating consequences excessive consumption can have on individuals and communities alike. Organizations like the Independent Order of Rechabites - Salford Unity Friendly Soc worked tirelessly to combat these issues. During World War I, Britain abstained from drinking as depicted on a Tatler cover. This period marked a significant shift towards promoting sobriety as an act of patriotism and self-discipline. As women embraced new freedoms in clothing choices with examples like Bloomers, they also played an essential role in advocating for temperance movements across various societies. Nestled amidst Keswick's picturesque landscape lies The Skiddaw Temperance Hotel – a haven for those seeking respite away from temptation while enjoying their stay in Cumbria. Prohibition – The Vision 1920 captures America's bold attempt at eradicating alcohol altogether through legislation. Though ultimately unsuccessful, it remains an iconic moment in history when society grappled with finding balance between personal choices and societal well-being.
