Alcohol abuse was one of the most serious social problems in Poland, mainly throughout the period of the People’s Republic of Poland. It caused a threat of social pathologies and was a significant criminogenic factor. Therefore, the activities of the authorities were aimed not only at prosecuting and punishing crimes committed under the infl uence of alcohol, but also at their prevention. Confidential reports prepared for the government outlined the scale of the problem and proposals for improvement.
