In 1970, sociologist Jeremiah Lowney began researching a group of
surfers called the 'Wall Gang' in a small community of drug and
alcohol users on Golden Beach in San Diego, California. Stoned,
Drunk, or Sober? is the culmination of Lowney's thirty-eight years
of intensive non-participant observation of seventy-two surfers.
This book offers a rare look at various qualitative techniques
employed to understand alcohol and drug use. Lowney utilizes basic
quantitative statistical data to complement and verify the
qualitative findings, thereby providing a deeper understanding than
if only one or the other had been used. Because it spans so many
years, Lowney's longitudinal research offers readers an opportunity
to fully grasp the various factors that contribute to substance
abuse, the various paths used to overcome the severe consequences
of addiction, and the histories of those who did not use drugs,
those who did, and those who are now 'free and sober.'
