In recent years, the relationship between sport and alcohol has
become an increasingly popular topic for study, with many current
research projects and publications aligning with a public health or
medical focus. This volume prioritizes social inquiry and an
emphasis on the sociological study of sport and alcohol to help
(re)shape the terms of ongoing debates on this topic. Both emerging
and expert scholars capture the contested terrain of the
sport-alcohol nexus, exploring a range of issues and controversies
with a specific focus on promotional culture, policy
legislation/regulation, and identity politics. Chapters discuss the
intricate social connections of what has become an entrenched,
naturalized and global culture of alcohol promotion and consumption
within sport. This volume is intentionally global in focus (with
geographical regions represented by both chapter topics as well as
contributors) and each chapter adds a truly valuable 'spirit' to
making sense of the complex relationship between sport and alcohol.
