Gin was invented in the Netherlands during the 17th century, and became very popular in [[England]] during the late 17th and early 18th century.  This was the first time that an alcoholic [[spirit]] had been made available cheaply in England, and gin became very popular with the poor in London, leading to widespread drunkenness, and concerns about morality and addiction.  This subject was highlighted in [[William Hogarth]]'s famous satirical engraving, "Gin Lane".
