This volume explores generational differences in alcohol
consumption practices and examines the changing role of alcohol
across the life course. It considers generational patterns in
where, how and why people buy and consume alcohol and how these may
interact with identity and belonging and considers how drinking
alcohol in adolescence, adulthood, middle-age or later life takes
on different functions, meanings and tensions. Alcohol is shown to
play an important role in biographical transitions, such as in the
coming of age rituals that mark the passage from adolescences to
adulthood, whilst drinking alcohol in adulthood and in later life
takes on new meanings, pleasures and risks in light of shifting
roles and responsibilities relating to work, leisure and the
family. The empirically-informed contributions draw on a range of
diverse disciplinary backgrounds and a range of cultural contexts
provides a nuanced examination of the role of alcohol at different
life course stages and explores both continuity and change between
generations.
