This book examines drinking and attitudes to alcohol consumption in
late medieval and early modern England, France, and Italy,
especially as they related to sexual and violent behaviour and to
gender relations. According to widespread beliefs, the consumption
of alcohol led to increased sexual activity among both men and
women, and it also led to disorderly conduct among women and
violent conduct among men. A. Lynn Martin shows how alcohol was a
fundamental part of the diets of most people, including women,
resulting in daily drinking of large amounts of ale, beer, or wine.
This study offers an intimate insight into both the altered states
induced by alcohol, and, by opposition, into normal relations in
family, community, and society.
