Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medieval and early modern England, religious and secular authorities, faced with an inadequate supply of healthy drinking water, had little choice but to acknowledge the benefits of drinking fermented beverages. At the same time, authorities knew they had a potentially huge social problem on their hands because many in England drank to the point of drunkenness on a regular basis, and, while intoxicated, engaged in immoral, destructive or disruptive behavior. In an effort to stop drunkenness, many authors, poets, and playwrights appealed to the drunkard's manhood by suggesting that excessive drinking effeminizes or otherwise transforms a drunkard into something other than a man, an "Other" defined by difference and castigated, ridiculed, laughed to scorn, and loathed by true men.
