Excerpt from Alcohol and SocietySince the memorable work of the Committee of Fifty was published there has been little discussion of the liquor problem except from the propagandist standpoint, and new studies of a general nature have not been undertaken. Evidence against alcohol is diligently being sought, not to enrich our knowledge but to prove an assumption. Searchers after fact are chided for failing to take it for granted that every depth of the drink problem has been explored and thoroughly mapped, and for venturing to question the Wisdom and sufficiency of current remedial proposals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
