In the 18th century etchings entitled “Beer street and Gin lane”, there are two prints by the English satirist William Hogarth where he supported the consumption of beer over the consumption of gin . These prints were designed side by side so that viewers see drinking beer as less intoxicating than the evil side effects of drinking gin. At the same time this "Gin Lane", companion to the other press, increased public awareness of drinking, and its deadly consequences led to a campaign against the British government's economic plan. Before moving forward it is necessary to make some clarifications. To understand the comparability of the multiple meanings of the degrading activities of Gin Lane we must know what gin is and how it came into being in the land of England. Gin is a cheap, hard liquor that is distilled from grains and has juniper berries added to its flavor. It was first distilled in Holland in the early 17th century, where it was produced as a medicine for stomach ailments. Gin has horrible side effects. it is a memory destroyer that makes people stupid very quickly. But London's lower class were habitual drinkers, not social drinkers, they just wanted to get drunk quickly to escape the pain of difficult lives. it was introduced to England after the arrival of William and Mary from the Netherlands in 1688. This gin business was part of the government's economic plan, so that they could create demand for excess grain. The first engraving I chose to examine is called "Beer Street". Everyone on Beer Street seems happy, healthy and hardworking. They seem to be cooling off by drinking beer while in their free time. Basket full of fresh fish and their... middle of paper......and everything must be done in moderation, even the good use of legal products in moderation is absolutely necessary. Hogarth's drawing "Gin Lane" had an immediate impact on ordinary people. In the same year the "Gin Act" was published, sold cheaply in order to reach as many hands as possible. it was passed by parliament regulating the sale of alcohol.Conclusion: During the Age of Reason, the famous satirist William Hogarth identified and exposed society's problems. He brought these recordings to life and gave them the voice to speak in a very powerful way. The intention was to bring change, especially where changes are most needed, to Britain's lower classes. It did not promote the consumption of beer, but rather warned of the danger of the transition from beer, considered healthy, to gin as a drunken drink.
