This book maps changing patterns of drinking. Emphasis is laid on
the connected histories of different regions and populations across
the globe regarding consumption patterns, government policies,
economics and representations of alcohol and drinking. Its
transnational perspective facilitates an understanding of the local
and global factors that have had a bearing on alcohol consumption
and legislation, especially on the emergence of particular styles
of 'drinking cultures'. The comparative approach helps to identify
similarities, differences and crossovers between particular regions
and pinpoint the parameters that shape alcohol consumption,
policies, legal and illegal production, and popular perceptions.
With a wide geographic range, the book explores plural drinking
cultures within any one region, their association with specific
social groups, and their continuities and changes in the wake of
wider global, colonial and postcolonial economic, political and
social constraints and exchanges.
