Gin Lane (1751) by William Hogarth Among the principal causes for the dangers of the streets of London, Moreton lists the abuse of alcohol specifically geneva or gin. In the Gin Era of 1720–50 very cheap liquors were sold indiscriminately, often resulting in a debauch of spirit-drinking, whose effects were seen on the streets, in the workhouses, in the growing misery of the poor and in an increase of criminality and violent acts. Moreton argues that this wicked trade will be the doom of the English nation, and it represents a real threat to the entire community: > suppose a man able to maintain himself and family by his trade, and at the > same time to be a Geneva drinker. This fellow first makes himself incapable > of working by being continually drunk; which runs him behindhand, so that he > either pawns, or neglects his work, for which reason nobody will employ him.
