Gin Craze? More Like gINSANITY!
Manage episode 304212701 series 2985623
To call it a Gin Craze is to be grossly inaccurate; addiction to the spirit in Georgian London created an epidemic of devastating proportions, negatively affecting fertility, mortality, production, and infrastructure throughout the entire city in the 1700s. In this episode, we explore how gin ascended to control an entire metropolis, and examine the solutions put forth by the government in its numerous attempts to restore health and production to the utterly ravaged city. Join us, as we look at the legacy of this epidemic, as well as the tragedies and innovations it inspired.
