1836年,紐西蘭第一場有記錄的禁酒會議在北島的島嶼灣舉行。[3]1860年出現了許多禁酒組織。[3]1873年的授權法允許在有三分之二的居民表決同意禁酒的地區禁止酒精銷售。[4]1886年,紐西蘭抑制和廢除酒精貿易聯盟(New Zealand Alliance for Suppression and Abolition of the Liquor Traffic)形成,推動紐西蘭對酒精貿易的控制。[5]
班哲明·拉許1784年發表的小冊子《關於烈酒對人類身心影響的調查》(An Inquiry Into the Effects of Ardent Spirits Upon the Human Body and Mind)判定酒精對於人的身心健康毫無益處。受此影響康乃狄克州的200個農民在1789年形成了一個禁酒協會,目標是禁止威士忌的製造。1800年在弗吉尼亞州、1808年在紐約州也成立了相同的組織。[22]接下來的數十年間,其他的禁酒組織也在別的州成立了。
