Answer:

The term used in the 1800s that means "abstention from alcoholic beverages" is temperance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperance movements usually criticize excessive alcohol consumption, promote full abstemiousness, or use their political influence to pressure the government to pass alcohol laws to regulate alcohol availability, or even its complete ban.
