Temperance organizations around the world are listed by date of founding. All are non-governmental (NGOs). But branches of international organizations are not listed.

You will notice that many groups are or were anti-alcoholism. Temperance groups tended not to note any difference between alcohol and alcoholism. They often saw them as the same. Nor between drinkers and alcoholics. In fact, they viewed all drinkers becoming alcoholics.

There are three sections of facts.
