The Temperance movement was a social campaign against the consumption of alcoholic drinks. People who joined this movement criticize alcohol exhilaration or promote total abstinence (teetotalism), with officers highlighting alcohol's adverse consequences on health, personality, and household life. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, this movement became more prominent in the English speaking and Scandinavian nations. This movement grew as led to the prohibition of alcohol in the United States from 1920 to 1933.
