Abstract
This chapter explores the evolution of licensing laws including the influence of temperance organisations. Taking New Zealand as a case study, the relationship between alcohol sale, accommodation provision and social expectations of how legislation would be enforced is examined. This is then compared with some of the Australian states and the experience of prohibition in the United States of America along with the evolution of United Kingdom legislation. From this an understanding of the influence of the Protestant work ethic on the development and enforcement of legislation both on workers and customers is considered.
