TEMPERANCE ON TAP.

The article discusses the resurgence of anti-drinking sentiments and policies in the United States, highlighting a shift towards a more prohibitionist approach to alcohol consumption. It notes the historical context of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the evolving public health narratives surrounding alcohol, particularly the findings from the CDC and the Surgeon General linking alcohol to various health risks, including cancer. The article also examines the implications of these findings for potential policy changes, such as increased alcohol taxes and warning labels, while acknowledging the mixed public perception of alcohol consumption, especially among younger generations. Overall, it suggests that a growing belief in the health risks associated with alcohol may lead to stricter regulations and a cultural shift away from drinking. [Extracted from the article]
