Drink Evil in Britain Reduced by Central Board
The central control board reports a sharp drop in drunkenness across England, Scotland, and Wales since June 1915. Convictions fell from 2 034 weekly in 1914 to 940 in March in England and Wales, with Scotland down to 794 and London dropping after a no treating order began in October 1915. Canteens supplying meals near pubs aided the impact, and liquor laws requiring food helped curb excess drinking among munitions workers.
