Title | Edward Hitchcock notes on temperance and science |
Dates | 1830-1849 |
Abstract | Notes by Edward Hitchcock discussing scientific arguments for abstaining from wine, beer, and cider. Hitchcock notes that it is generally accepted that the temperance movement requires abstaining from liquors, but he says some men maintain that the alcohol in wine, beer, and cider is somehow different. Hitchcock discusses the scientific reasons why this is not true, and refutes the arguments against abstaining from all these beverages. He additionally refutes arguments against temperance that cite the Bible's treatment of wine. |
