""The Drink Peril in Scotland"" is a book written by Arthur Sherwell and published in 1903. The book is a critical analysis of the issue of alcoholism in Scotland, particularly in the working-class population.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of alcohol consumption in Scotland, including the rise of the whisky industry and the role of alcohol in Scottish culture. Sherwell also discusses the impact of alcohol on health, crime rates, and poverty. The second part of the book focuses on potential solutions to the problem of alcoholism in Scotland. Sherwell advocates for stricter regulation of alcohol sales, increased education about the dangers of alcohol, and support for individuals struggling with addiction. He also discusses the role of temperance movements and the need for social and economic reforms to address the root causes of alcoholism.Overall, ""The Drink Peril in Scotland"" is a thought-provoking and well-researched examination of a significant social issue in Scotland. It provides historical context, statistical analysis, and practical solutions for addressing the problem of alcoholism in the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
