A historical discussion estimates the nation’s annual liquor bill around 550 to 700 million dollars. It cites figures from Switzler and A D Wells, and references Census bulletin No 180 showing 1900 liquor manufacture at 340 million, with deductions for arts, industry, medicine, malting, and betting duplications.

Economic View of Liquor Trade in Early 1900s
A statistical argument weighs liquor revenues against social costs, arguing $700 million in the drink bill is offset by government revenue, employment, farmer benefits, and capital investment. It cites 1900 data on workers, establishments, grain use, and public costs to claim overall economic balance despite temperance critiques.
