There is no simple threshold between the experience of drinking and
the pleasure it can bring on the one hand and the pain and
suffering caused by alcohol abuse on the other. But if we are to

and Pleasure aims to bring together existing knowledge on the role
of pleasure in drinking and determine whether the concept is useful
for scientific understanding and policy consideration.
