The medicalisation of alcohol use has become a prominent discourse
that guides policy makers and impacts public perceptions of alcohol
and drinking. This book maps the historical and cultural dimensions
of the phenomenon. Emphasising medical attitudes and theories
regarding alcohol and the changing perception of alcohol
consumption in psychiatry and mental health, it explores the shift
from the use of alcohol in clinical treatment and as part of
dietary regimens to the emergence of alcoholism as a disease
category that requires medical intervention and is considered a
threat to public health. -- .
