Teenage girls are more likely to binge drink than boys, according to a survey by the European School Project on alcohol and drugs. 29 per cent of girls admitted to binge drinking three times in the previous month, compared to 26 per cent of boys.
(Daily Mail, 25 Jan 2005)
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 total abstainers.
If you are a past or present member of the Sons of Temperance (or the Cadets of Temperance), or are a total abstainer, or share a concern over society’s problems caused by alcohol we’d love to hear from you.
