I'm not trying to Chicken-Little here, I just wanted to put forth that these groups exist, so we can understand their agendas.

I wish these people would focus on just the bad parts of drinking (alcoholism and drunk driving) because they'd do a world of good. Instead I think they just drive people underground with their problems. Nobody likes to be marginalized.

I keep expecting to find propaganda on the site, but when it's there, it's listed as such. A very fun read. Is there an anti-temperance league? Might need to get one rolling pro-actively! Nice find!
