Why was alcohol banned during the charter of 1732?

Alcohol was banned during the Charter of 1732 primarily to promote moral and social order in the newly established colony of Georgia. The founders, including James Oglethorpe, believed that banning alcohol would help prevent vice and promote a healthy, industrious community. They aimed to create a colony that would serve as a refuge for the poor and a buffer against Spanish Florida, and they saw alcohol as a potential disruptor to their vision of a disciplined society. The ban was part of a broader set of regulations intended to uphold these ideals.
