Temperance Pledge
The Temperance Pledge was a commitment made by individuals to abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages, often to promote personal health, moral integrity, or social reform. Historically associated with movements like Alcoholics Anonymous or temperance societies in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it represented a voluntary vow to avoid alcohol for reasons such as improving well-being, reducing social issues, or supporting sobriety. The pledge was viewed as a moral or health-related promise to foster self-control and contribute to societal betterment.
