The Government’s own figures show a complete failure to tackle Britain’s growing drink problem.
We were promised a continental drinking culture but in reality we’ve seen a dramatic leap in alcohol-related A&E admissions and a surge in drunken violence. The buck must stop with ministers – it’s their job to hold pubs, bars and off-licences to account for the country’s binge-drinking culture.
(Don Foster, LibDem spokesman. Nov 2007)
Having previously been founded in the United States, the Order of the Sons of Temperance of Great Britain and Ireland was instituted in 1855. Thus for over a century and a half the Sons of Temperance, as a Friendly Society, has had an outstanding record of service in providing life insurance and savings schemes exclusively for nondrinkers.
If you are a past or present member of the Sons of Temperance (or the Cadets of Temperance), or are a nondrinker, or share a concern over society’s problems caused by alcohol we’d love to hear from you.
