Well the poem doesn't ring any bells.  I've spent the last half hour searching and can't find anything like it :(

As for a ban on drinking, many societies have passed this legislation on different days making it illegal to drink on labor day (or May day), Easter and other holidays.  Can you be more specific about when/where about the ban?
