Europeans consitiute 12 and a half per cent of the world's
population but consume 50 per cent of the recorded world production
alcohol, and this consumption plays a significant role in the
cultural, religious, and social identites of these countrise. The
contributors show how different groups define the proper use of
alcohol, how State policies may effect drinking behaviour, and
highlight how beverages and comestibles must be seen in relation to
each other. From this is it shown how importamt socio-cultural
distinctions are made between and within communities, gender
relations, ethnic groups, and socio-economic groups, and within
religious ideologies; what one drinks, how one drinks, with whom,
and where, all influence not how alcoholic substances are regarded
but how social relations are experienced. Alcohol Gender and
Culture clearly demonstrates how the social construction of
drinking may provide an analytical tool with which to approach
different socio-cultural groups and illustrates how any cultural
group can be compared to another by its attutudes to alcohol. It
will be invaluable reading for students and lecturers af
anthropology, cultural history and gender studies.
