“…Consequently by 1914 it appeared that attempts at Temperance inspired reforms had been largely unsuccessful and that the traditional drinks trade structures were more or less intact. Indeed by 1900 the loosely federated British temperance societies were beginning to disintegrate following internal divisions and disagreements within the movement (Shiman, 1988). The four great thrusts of mid-nineteenth-century temperance free licensing of beer-houses, abstinence from spirits, voluntary teetotalism, and prohibition were either dead or moribund (Turner, 1980).…”

Disinterested management appears to be the antithesis of modern management theory. The word disinterest conveys a lack of concern whereas modern management involves being active controlling and administering the organisation towards success. Yet this management theory which originated in nineteenth century Sweden embraces an acknowledgment of corporate social responsibility in order to mitigate the anti-social consequences of the alcohol trade. This theory was successfully applied in managing the operations of the British nationalized brewery the State Management Scheme at Carlisle from 1916 until 1974 when it was sold off to the private brewing sector.In an era of witnessing the anti-social consequences of insobriety the innovative lessons of disinterested management can offer solutions for balancing both profit motives and social objectives.

“…The first Juvenile Temperance Association was founded in Paisley, Scotland, in 1830 and was followed by the first Total Abstinence Society for Boys and Girls at Preston, Lancashire, in 1834. The name Band of Hope was copied by many other temperance and church organizations and quickly became a generic term for all temperate youth groups (Shiman 1988). It formed the children's section of the Leeds Temperance Society (Longmate 1968;Shiman 1988).…”

Discourses of Methodist temperance and teetotalism in Cornwall, U.K., show geographical relationships that link religious constructions of moral sanctity with specific forms of bodily performance. Understanding religious attitudes toward youthful spirituality and the histories of children informs theoretical debates concerning the embodied religious subject, citizenship, and public performance, expressed in the activities of Sunday schools and the Band of Hope (a temperance organization in which children took a pledge of total abstinence from alcohol). Methodist communities sought to regulate young people's behavior beyond the spaces of the chapel. Methodists' beliefs in autodidacticism, temperance, and social engagement have a spatiality as well as a history that demands attention.

“…For example, in her recent history of temperance in Victorian England, Shiman (1988) states in her concluding chapter: "By the time Queen Victoria passed away, drunkenness was no longer treated with the good-hearted tolerance of former times" (p. 244). This macrolevel change in attitude was soon followed, not by the national prohibition which some had hoped for, but by an elaborate licensing system which might be seen as a form of controlling coping on a national scale.…”

“…Industrialization, urbanization, and the desire of working people to better themselves through education, work and respectability seem, according to the historians (e.g. Shiman, 1988;Berridge, 1991), to have been amongst the factors that created the climate for this 'coping' on a community or societal level. In Britain, in the middle to late twentieth century alcohol problems have largely been seen in individual terms and coping at the community level has been missing.…”
