Temperance Document A: The verse below is from the song The Drink We Choose. It is one of several ballads sung by the Cold Water Army, a children’s temperance group in Connecticut during the late 1840s.

The drink, that’s in the drunkard’s bowl is not the drink for me;

It kills his body and his soul; how sad a sight is he! But there’s a drink that God has given, distilling in the

showers of heaven, In measures large and free; oh, that’s the drink for

me. *Note* Abuse of alcohol is not a laughing matter. While today we have school-based programs, such as D.A.R.E., and organizations such as M.A.D.D., in the nineteenth century temperance was largely (if not exclusively) part of a religious movement.
