Prohibition Debate and Neal Institute Admission
The article argues that prohibition has reduced demand for licensed “drink habit” clinics, citing Neal Institute president B E Neal who reports a drop from over 100 monthly patients in major cities to under two. It notes closures, shifts away from heavy drinking, and predicts a largely dry country in five years if enforcement holds, then briefly mentions the Ostfriesland sinking.
