Historique
The Society for the Study and Cure of Inebriety was founded in 1884 as a pressure group in response to the inadequacy of the Habitual Drunkards Act of 1879.
In 1946 the Society changed it's name to the Society for the Study of Addiction to Alcohol and other Drugs.
The London Society for Study of Addiction is the London branch of the Society for the Study of Addiction to Alcohol and other Drugs.
The Society's current aims are to promote the communication and spread of scientific knowledge about dependence on drugs and alcohol and other forms of dependence associated with compulsive behaviour, and to encourage the systematic study of the forms of dependence.
The Society jointly sponsors the Dent Lecture with the Department of Pharmacology, Kings College London.
