Abstract

The article starts by introducing the sobriety movement, with its focus on youth, during the First World War, which, due to the awareness of transience and stress, among other things, undermined the ethical and moral foundations of society. It then focuses on the treatment of youth and alcoholism, and the anti-alcohol movement in Slovenia in theory and practice in the immediate post-war period, when agitation and organising, in the desire to lay a solid foundation for a healthy and prosperous future, regained strength and validity.
