Mother’s Ruin
In the 1700s, gin suddenly became very popular with the population, especially among the poorer classes. This was largely due to the 1736 law, known as the Gin Act, which made it cheaper to make and sell gin than beer or whisky. This led to an increase in the availability and demand for gin, and many taverns began selling it illegally.
This led to an increase in gin abuse and widespread social problems such as poverty and alcoholism. Common women, in particular, were often associated with gin abuse and were described as "mothers" destroying their own and their family's lives through gin abuse. It was in this context that the phrase "Mother’s Ruin” was coined.
In the 18th century, gin became a popular subject for satirical paintings and etchings. One of the most famous is William Hogarth's "Gin Lane", which shows the negative consequences of the abuse of gin on the poorer classes. These paintings helped solidify the negative image of gin and the phrase "Mother's Ruin" as synonymous with alcoholism.
Over time, gin has become a respectable and popular drink, and the phrase "Mother’s Ruinhas become more of a historical curiosity than a reality. Today, the phrase is often used ironically to refer to gin, especially among drink lovers. In recent years, gin has experienced a real boom in popularity, with many new producers creating high quality gins with a great variety of flavours. There are also many gin-related activities, such as distilleries open to the public, tastings and gin festivals.
In general, the phrase "Mother’s Ruin” is an example of how the perception of a drink can change over time, and how history and culture can affect the perception of a drink. In your article, you could also mention the influence of gin on current popular culture, such as in literature
