Getting drunk is a risky behaviour in terms of accidents, unwanted pregnancies, rape and STIs and there is evidence that young people who start drinking heavily are more likely to become dependent on alcohol and have alcohol problems in later life.
Professor Ian Gilmore, Royal College of Physicians
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 non-drinkers.
If you are a past or present member of the Sons of Temperance (or the Cadets of Temperance), or are a non-drinker, or share a concern over society’s problems caused by alcohol we’d love to hear from you.
