National Temperance League

The National Temperance League was a British organization founded in 1885 that promoted abstinence from alcohol. Its goal was to reduce alcohol consumption for health, moral, and social reasons, believing this would lead to improved individuals and communities. The league advocated for education, legislation, and social campaigns to discourage drinking and support temperance principles. It played a significant role in the temperance movement in the UK, emphasizing moderation or complete abstinence as a means to address social problems associated with alcohol abuse.
