A student in my senior seminar is interested in the reform of drinking practices in general fraternal societies such as the Freemasons and the Odd Fellows. There is a very general account in Mary Ann Clawson, CONSTRUCTING BROTHERHOOD: CLASS, GENDER, AND FRATERNALISM (1989). Any suggestions about other secondary sources? Primary sources? His assumption is that the practices in such fraternal societies changed as the temperance movement developed in the nineteenth and early twentieth century and presumably again in the mid-twentieth century as society accepted alcoholic drink as part of ordinary sociability.
