I suppose my first question in response to this would be
to wonder if there is an "anti- liquor movement" that is out there. Temperance
movements seemed to have faded out since the days of the Progressivists. If nothing
else, in America, the repeal of prohibition in the form of the 21st Amendment to the
Constitution might be a considerably important step that would have done much to the
anti- liquor movement's attempts at political change. However, I do think that
government has recognized the need to encourage safe and responsible consumption of
alcohol. There are few, if any, governments that outright ban alcohol. It is too
difficult to do this. However, governments have used education and social attitudes to
encourage safe and more responsible consumption of alcohol. The fact that drug and
alcohol awareness and education is a part of the wellness curriculum in most schools is
a part of this. Government has ensured that drunk driving, or driving under the
influence or while intoxicated, are crimes that are vigorously prosecuted. From a
social point of view, groups like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) have taken to
social forms of education and awareness about the dangers of drunk driving. Finally,
the fact that alcoholism is largely seen as a "disease" that necessitates the resources
that other diseases require in countering is another example of how people actively take
a stand the fosters a more aggressive against alcohol.
