In "Intoxicated Identities, " Tim Mitchell provides a novel and
well-grounded framework for understanding subjective drinking
experiences from the Aztecs to the present day in areas as diverse
as Chiapas, Chihuahua, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Texas and California.
Power drinking plays a crucial role in Mexican religion, politics,
fine arts and ritual spousal abuse. Mexico ranks number one in
deaths from cirrhosis, and Mexican Americans are twice as likely to
be arrested for drunken driving as blacks or whites. With methods
and concepts derived from an extraordinary range of disciplines,
Mitchell explains how Mexican culture reinforces heavy drinking. He
analyzes supply (nationalistic marketing strategies) but emphasizes
demand (psychocultural motivations unique to Mexico). He chronicles
the joys and sorrows of a borrachera, or drinking binge, and
explores this altered state of consciousness on its own terms, not
from any temperance or anti-alcohol perspective.
