The consumption of drugs and alcohol, and the pleasures and
problems arising from this consumption, can be understood as
embedded and constitutive elements of social, family, and
recreational life. At the same time, they are key sites of
intervention for a broad array of state and non-state actors
focused on regulation, treatment, and recovery. This edited volume
showcases current research on the complex social and cultural
geographies of drugs and alcohol. Taking an avowedly critical
approach, the authors draw from a variety of theoretical traditions
to explore the socially and spatially embedded nature of alcohol
and drug consumption, regulation and treatment, and the ways in
which these give rise to particular lived experiences, while
foreclosing on others. Together, the chapters question
taken-for-granted assumptions about the nature of, and motivations
for, drug and alcohol use, and pay direct attention to both the
intended and unintended consequences of regulation and treatment
initiatives. Despite and, in part, because of this critical stance,
chapters hold immediate implications for drug and alcohol policy
and public health interventions. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Social and Cultural Geography.
