In Drinking Up the Revolution, James Wilt shows us why alcohol
policy should be at the heart of any socialist movement. Many
people are drinking more now than ever before, as already massive
multinationals are consolidating and new online delivery services
are booming in an increasingly deregulated market. At the same
time, public health experts are sounding the alarm about the
catastrophic health and social impacts of rising alcohol use, with
over three million people dying ever year due to alcohol-related
harms. Exposing the links between the alcohol industry and
capitalism, colonialism and environmental destruction, Wilt
demonstrates the failure of both prohibition and deregulation, and
instead focuses on those who profit from alcohol's sale and
downplay its impacts: producers, retailers, and governments.
Rejecting both the alcohol industry's moralizing against individual
"problem drinkers" and the sober politics of "straight-edge" and
wellness lifestyle trends, Drinking Up the Revolution is not
another call for prohibition or more governmental control, but is
instead a cry to take back alcohol for the people, and make it safe
and enjoyable for all those who want to use it.
