Despite public attempts to limit alcohol consumption, drunkenness was pervasive in the 18th century, and the trend continued into the 19th century. In 1830, Americans consumed an average of 7.1 gallons of alcohol a year. It was at this time that drinking became a moral issue. Alcohol was having a serious impact on communities, and many problems associated with industrialization were attributed to alcohol abuse. Soon, any consumption of alcohol was perceived as deplorable.
