Download or read book Alcohol written by Mack Holt and published by Berg. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are we so ambivalent about alcohol? Are we torn between our love of a drink and the need to restrict, or even prohibit, alcohol? How did saloon culture arise in the United States? Why did wine become such a ubiquitous part of French culture? Alcohol: A Social and Cultural History examines these questions and many more as it considers how drink has evolved in its functions and uses from the late Middle Ages to the present day in the West. Alcohol has long played an important role in societies throughout history, and understanding its consumption can reveal a great deal about a culture. This book discusses a range of issues, including domestic versus recreational use, the history of alcoholism, and the relationship between alcohol and violence, religion, sexuality, and medicine. It looks at how certain forms of alcohol speak about class, gender and place. Drawing on examples from Europe, North America and Australia, this book provides an overview of the many roles alcohol has played over the past five centuries.

Download or read book Forgotten Drinks of Colonial New England written by Corin Hirsch and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England food and drinks writer Corin Hirsch explores the origins and taste of the favorite potations of early Americans and offers some modern-day recipes to revive them today. Colonial New England was awash in ales, beers, wines, cider and spirits. Everyone from teenage farmworkers to our founding fathers imbibed heartily and often. Tipples at breakfast, lunch, teatime and dinner were the norm, and low-alcohol hard cider was sometimes even a part of children's lives. This burgeoning cocktail culture reflected the New World's abundance of raw materials: apples, sugar and molasses, wild berries and hops. This plentiful drinking sustained a slew of smoky taverns and inns--watering holes that became vital meeting places and the nexuses of unrest as the Revolution brewed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Drink Traffic in the Nineteenth Century: Its Growth and Influence The aim of the present work is to direct attention to the conflicting social forces which have been at work in this country during the present century. Prominent among these is the Drink Traffic, the growth of which has been as remarkable as its influence has been extensive. The effect has been to necessitate increased activity on the part of those forces which are closely allied to civilisation, and to call into existence many others for the correction of National abuses, and the mitigation of social evils.
