NON-ALCOHOLIC RESTAURANTS BOOMING IN SWITZERLAND
Swiss non-alcoholic cafes and restauranis now total more than 1,600. Customers in these nonalcoholic restaurants are on the increase and this type of restaurant, which was once considered impossible, has become very popular. One group of them reports more than 50,000 customers daily. There are some 300 such attractive dining places in Zurich, where the nonalcoholic movement started in 1894, when the Zurich Women’s Society for Temperance Restaurants was founded. The Swiss Office for Commercial Expansion has reported that the Swiss are buying 50 per cent, less alcohol than they were at the turn of the century. Many of these restaurants have a Reading Room, where people can read and where lectures are given on the use of alcohol, generally to Swiss youth and soldiers.
