Publisher's Synopsis
""Latest Drink Sophistries Versus Total Abstinence"" is a book written by Daniel Dorchester and originally published in 1883. The book is a critique of the arguments made by proponents of moderate drinking and a defense of the total abstinence movement. Dorchester argues that the dangers of alcohol consumption are too great to justify any level of drinking, and that total abstinence is the only responsible choice. He also takes on various arguments made by those who advocate for moderate drinking, such as the idea that alcohol is necessary for social interaction or that it has health benefits. Dorchester uses scientific evidence and moral reasoning to make his case for total abstinence, and his book was influential in the temperance movement of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
