Title: Britain on the Bottle: Alcohol and the State
Description: Mark Whitaker traces the history of the politics of alcohol.
6: Mark focuses on a new panic that swept the nation at the
end of the 19th century over the number of 'habitual
drunkards' in the country and the impact they were having.
Matters came to a head when many young men proved
insufficiently healthy to fight in the Boer War. In 1898
Parliament passed an Inebriates Act that required local
authorities to set up special 'reformatories' as an
alternative to prison for those arrested time after time for
being drunk and disorderly. Courts could sentence people to
them for up to three years. The shift was from condemnation
to cure, but the reformatories couldn't survive after the
outbreak of war in 1914

Title: Britain on the Bottle: Alcohol and the State
Description: Mark Whitaker traces the history of the politics of alcohol.
7: Mark examines the years of the First World War, when
everything was determined by the needs of 'national
efficiency'. After a few months of war it became clear that
Britain needed to make more munitions, and fast. But output
was slowed down by the workers' drinking habits. 'We are
fighting Germany, Austria and Drink,' said Lloyd George, as
he embarked on a plan for the government to buy up the
country's entire liquor trade. But the Cabinet balked at the
price. Instead a Central Control Board (CCB) was set up in
1915 with the power to take over the trade in areas of
particular sensitivity to the war effort. The largest of
these was Gretna-Carlisle, where a new national munitions
factory was built

Title: Britain on the Bottle: Alcohol and the State
Description: Mark Whitaker traces the history of the politics of alcohol.
8: It seemed possible during the 1920s that the 'Drink
Question' that had bedevilled British governments for so
long might finally be about to be consigned to the past. The
fall in consumption, which had started during the First
World War, continued throughout the decade, and political
attention focused on why. But while governments chose to sit
on the fence, the brewing industry got busy. Led by people
like Ernest Nevile, the head of Whitbread's, they set about
designing and building a new type of 'improved' pub, one
that would attract a new middle-class clientele.

Title: Britain on the Bottle: Alcohol and the State
Description: Mark Whitaker traces the history of the politics of alcohol.
9: In 1961, the home secretary RA Butler confidently told
the Commons that 'public drunkenness is not a problem', but
such denial couldn't last long. In 1962, the government
decided to build specialist alcoholic treatment units around
the country, and the period also saw the first specific
warnings about teenage drinking

Title: Britain on the Bottle: Alcohol and the State
Description: Mark Whitaker traces the history of the politics of alcohol.
10: In the last decade or so Britain has experienced renewed
social and political panic over the consequences of
excessive drinking, and the concept of 'alcohol-related
harms' has entered the language. A coherent policy community
has developed, and research has multiplied, around questions
of alcohol control. But governments have seemingly been
reluctant to listen. Mark concludes his history of the
politics of alcohol since the 17th century by examining New
Labour's Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy of 2004, and
related relaxation of the licensing system
