I’m not exactly sure how these images could be used in the classroom (to talk about state promotion of the family? the social ills of alcohol? gendering alcoholism?), but I think they’re fascinating. I found them at the Museum of Anti-Alcohol Posters.
“Cause- drunkenness”
“No mercy for hooligans!”
“Alcohol: Pain of nature”
“Bartered”
“Rich inner substance”
“Have mercy on your future child”
“This new dress becomes me well”
“Harmful to health, family and descendants”
“Vodka brings with it”
“alcoholism”

I'd comment, but I'm too drunk. Also, my baby is on fire because s/he spilled the sippy-cup full overproof rum while playing with the Zippo lighter, so I gotta go.
Oh...never mind, I guess.
Just kidding, there's no baby, all is well.
It was just my cat that was on fire.

I'm here all week, folks! Remember to tip your servers and drink responsibly!
