Virtues of Abstinence

In 1835, the British Association for the Promotion of Temperance was formed to advocate the moderate consumption or abstinence from alcohol. Soon, a stance against beer and wine was also included. Originating in Lancashire in the late 19th century, the Temperance Public House, which often asked their patrons to sign a pledge to abstain from alcohol, sold remedies and non-alcoholic drinks such as sarsaparilla, dandelion and burdock, blackbeer and raisin, ginger beer, cream soda, lemon and ginger and blood tonic. In the 1880's, temperance bars could be found on every high street in the north of England, but fifty years later, the temperance movement faded with the end of prohibition in the US. - AsNotedIn
