Excessive drinking caused problems with work and family.

Reason: The temperance movement became a major social reform in the early 1800s (e.g., the American Temperance Society founded in 1826) because alcohol abuse was seen as harming families, workplaces, and public order. The other choices were less central or not generally true for that period.
