Great Britain spent in 1987 cer- tainly not less than £299,000,000 intoxicants probably over £300,000,000-and consumed not less than 51,500,000 gallons of absolute alcohol through the medium of spirits, beer, and wine. Of that expenditure it was estimated that 70 per cent, or £209,000,000, wased at Weston Zoyland.* spent. by wage-earners. having an approximate wage-income, accord- ing to the estimate made for 1924 by Sir Josiah Stamp and Professor Bowley, of £1,600,000,000 for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so that at least six weeks of the callec tive earnings of that vast class of the community was devoted to the payment of its collective drink bill, leaving the whole of its community dependent for support on forty- Fix weeks-not fifty-two weeks earnings.

since the war, owing primarily, no doubt, to the prevaleces of unem- ployment, but also to high taxation, restricted hours, and improved methods of occupying leisure, there has been a considerable reduction, particularly in the use of spirits, At the same time, it is equally certain that £299,000,000 was in fact spent last year on drink, and that the liquor was in fact consumed by somebody. The larger the proportion of non-drinkers, or extremely mode- rate drinkers, the greater the quan- tity consumed by other drinkers; and there seems only one conclu tion, that while many gersons GTE happily, drinking less liquor, there: are very large number still drink Girl" ing at least as much as formerly and possibly more.
