Clergymen Debate about Alcohol (jan 1, 1820 – jan 1, 1830)
Description:
During this time period, clergymen begin to question the legality of alcohol consumption. They question whether drinking in moderation is enough to control, "the sins of excessive alcohol consumption" (Goode, 38). They begin to consider the idea that total abstinence, rather than self-regulated alcohol consumption, may be necessary.Added to timeline:
