Title A name given to the resource The American issue (Westerville, Ohio), February 18, 1920 Subject The topic of the resource This image shows off America's tendency to brag about what it has done and to create its sphere of influence. This is America trying to prove that it is morally superior due to its achievements in abolishing alcohol. Alcohol is seen as a blight that must be cured, or it will fester. That is what the United States has done by banning alcohol, instantly cleansing its image and people.

Three young children wait on the porch for their father, who drinks inside while they suffer outside without even ice to cool them down.

Title A name given to the resource The American Issue, April 9, 1915 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The American Issue (Westerville, Ohio) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 9, 1915 Subject The topic of the resource Prohibitionists want to portray alcohol as something that will betray anything if it gets in its way of making money. They portray it as aiding the enemy since it could affect the entire war effort by the British due to its physically impairing those that drink. Alcohol was the number one enemy of the people and the state and needed to be banned. Description An account of the resource During World War I, Britain enacted the Defense of the Realm Act (DORA), which partially prohibited alcohol for soldiers by limiting pub hours, reducing alcohol percentages, and restricting supply. This was due to concerns that soldiers were drinking excessively. The comic praises the United Kingdom for its actions against alcohol, depicting it about to be attacked by a rum bottle as punishment for exposing alcohol’s dangers. In the background, the United States watches, witnessing how alcohol betrays its users.

The newspaper aims to convince readers that alcohol is the root cause of broken families, even quoting a judge to support this claim.

It highlights how wives, children, and parents suffer deeply due to a husband’s, father’s, or son’s alcoholism. By spending all their money on alcohol instead of household needs, drinkers put women and children at risk leaving them vulnerable to poverty, illness, violent abuse, and the instability of living with an addict. Description An account of the resource Displays some of the many victims of those who drink. Mothers and children are heavily effected since they depended onto fathers who drank.

Subject The topic of the resource This is another example of how prohibitionists convinced readers that alcohol destroys families by fueling drinkers’ uncontrollable appetites. They took a brutally literal approach by showing fathers and husbands shoving their loved ones into pits of despair, all for their thirst for alcohol. The image is terrifying seeing men sprinting toward a cliff, and dragging down anyone in their path. This stark visual made the comic horrifyingly effective at showcasing alcohol’s dangers to the public. Description An account of the resource The title of the picture is "THE LURE OF APPETITE." The scene of the picture is a cliffside with men rushing towards a angle with a banner with the text, "APPETITE FOR ALCOHOL." On the cliff men are jumping to their doom with their wives and children, or pushing them down with them in the ravine to their destruction. The caption at the bottom states, "It demands a toll of life from the helpless innocents as well as from those it ensnares."

The stockings hang empty. Instead of eaten cookies, only rye whiskey is on the table. The holiday is ruined for the entire family by their father’s alcohol addiction. He fails to provide, focusing only on his next drink. The comic is absurd that children are waking to booze instead of gifts. Yet it exposes the real fears of the era that drinkers abandon their families for drinking. How can children thrive without support? Description An account of the resource The top of the comic the caption reads, "Where Santa Clause is a Follower of "The Personal Liberty League". Below are four young children getting ready to look at their gifts for Christmas but are instead welcomed by two booze bottles, and empty stockings on the chimney. They are all distraught by what they are seeing and one of the kids is crying.
