Gin had first been introduced into the country by William
III, and the landed classes soon became rich producing the
grain from which it was distilled; and governments depended
on taxing it. But by the end of the 1720s people started to
recognise the social damage it was causing, and the best
writers of the day took up the issue. Actors read extracts
from Defoe and Fielding, from prime minister Robert
Walpole's letters and from parliamentary debates

3: Mark examines the 1830 Beer Act, when parliament made the
seemingly bizarre decision that the best way to decrease
public drunkenness was to make access to alcohol easier. The
act made it possible for anybody who could come up with a
payment of two guineas to get a licence to sell beer in
their own home. Over the next six months 25,000 licenses
were taken out, and almost overnight a new landscape of
drinking had been created in England. Actors read from
parliamentary debates, and from journals and newspapers

which workers would be diligent, healthy and happy - because
they would have no access to alcohol. Actors read from
temperance literature, from Dickens and from newspaper
reports
