Reports on Alcohol Use Rising Among Women
CHICAGO An official of the national Woman's Christian Temperance Union blamed the rise in alcoholism among women on the liquor industry's bolder sales pitch to women. Mrs. Robert Fortner of Mount Vernon South Dakota, director of the department of home protection, stated at the 91st annual convention that there has been almost a 35 percent increase in women committed to mental institutions for alcoholism in the last decade. She cited high pressure industry campaigns invading homes as a major factor and warned drinking mothers drive juvenile drinking and delinquency. Fortner urged the bottles carry a warning that alcohol creates alcoholics.
