Drunkenness A Vice, Not A Disease is a paper written by John Edwards Todd in 1882 that challenges the prevailing belief that alcoholism is a disease. Todd argues that drunkenness is a vice, a moral failing that can be overcome through personal responsibility and self-control. He contends that the disease theory of alcoholism is not only scientifically unsound but also leads to a culture of victimhood and excuses for alcoholics. Todd's paper is a thought-provoking critique of the prevailing attitudes towards alcoholism in the late 19th century and remains relevant today in the ongoing debate over the nature of addiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
