The World League Against Alcoholism (WLAA) was organized by the Anti-Saloon League, whose goal became establishing prohibition not only in the United States but throughout the entire world.
As ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment creating prohibition in the U.S. neared, Anti-Saloon leader Ernest Cherrington promoted the creation of the WLAA, which was founded in 1919.[1] Members and supporters of the WLAA saw alcohol as "the poisoning of the body, germ-plasm, mind, conduct and society."[1]
