Book The SAGE Encyclopedia of Alcohol

Download or read book The SAGE Encyclopedia of Alcohol written by Scott C. Martin and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 1674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol consumption goes to the very roots of nearly all human societies. Different countries and regions have become associated with different sorts of alcohol, for instance, the “beer culture” of Germany, the “wine culture” of France, Japan and saki, Russia and vodka, the Caribbean and rum, or the “moonshine culture” of Appalachia. Wine is used in religious rituals, and toasts are used to seal business deals or to celebrate marriages and state dinners. However, our relation with alcohol is one of love/hate. We also regulate it and tax it, we pass laws about when and where it’s appropriate, we crack down severely on drunk driving, and the United States and other countries tried the failed “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition. While there are many encyclopedias on alcohol, nearly all approach it as a substance of abuse, taking a clinical, medical perspective (alcohol, alcoholism, and treatment). The SAGE Encyclopedia of Alcohol examines the history of alcohol worldwide and goes beyond the historical lens to examine alcohol as a cultural and social phenomenon, as well—both for good and for ill—from the earliest days of humankind.

Book Domesticating Drink

    Book Details:
  • Author : Catherine Gilbert Murdock
  • Publisher : JHU Press
  • Release : 1998
  • ISBN : 080186870X
  • Pages : 260 pages

Download or read book Domesticating Drink written by Catherine Gilbert Murdock and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title The period of prohibition, from 1919 to 1933, marks the fault line between the cultures of Victorian and modern America. In Domesticating Drink, Murdock argues that the debates surrounding alcohol also marked a divide along gender lines. For much of early American history, men generally did the drinking, and women and children were frequently the victims of alcohol-associated violence and abuse. As a result, women stood at the fore of the temperance and prohibition movements and, as Murdock explains, effectively used the fight against drunkenness as a route toward political empowerment and participation. At the same time, respectable women drank at home, in a pattern of moderation at odds with contemporaneous male alcohol abuse. During the 1920s, with federal prohibition a reality, many women began to assert their hard-won sense of freedom by becoming social drinkers in places other than the home. Murdock's study of how this development took place broadens our understanding of the social and cultural history of alcohol and the various issues that surround it. As alcohol continues to spark debate about behaviors, attitudes, and gender roles, Domesticating Drink provides valuable historical context and important lessons for understanding and responding to the evolving use, and abuse, of drink.

Book Vice Capades

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mark Stein
  • Publisher : U of Nebraska Press
  • Release : 2017-07
  • ISBN : 1612349277
  • Pages : 333 pages

Download or read book Vice Capades written by Mark Stein and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From outlawing bowling in colonial America to regulating violent video games and synthetic drugs today, Mark Stein's Vice Capades examines the nation's relationship with the actions, attitudes, and antics that have defined morality. This humorous and quirky history reveals that our views of vice are formed not merely by morals but by power. While laws against nude dancing have become less restrictive, laws restricting sexual harassment have been enacted. While marijuana is no longer illegal everywhere, restrictive laws have been enacted against cigarettes. Stein examines this nation's inconsistent moral compass and how the powers-that-be in each era determine what is or is not deemed a vice. From the Puritans who founded Massachusetts with unyielding, biblically based laws to those modern purveyors of morality who currently campaign against video game violence, Vice Capades looks at the American history we all know from a fresh and exciting perspective and shows how vice has shaped our nation, sometimes without us even knowing it.

Book Recent Developments in Alcoholism

Download or read book Recent Developments in Alcoholism written by Marc Galanter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1989-01-31 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the President of the Research Society on Alcoholism In the last decade research concerning the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism has come of age. We have witnessed a plethora of sci entific findings that have shed light on some of the actions of alcohol at the molecular level. Interesting new data have been forthcoming on the complexi ties of the development of tolerance to alcohol. It is becoming increasingly appropriate to consider that tolerance to alcohol involves biological as well as psychological factors. New scientific insights have been gained concerning the treatment of with drawal as well as the presence of persistent withdrawal signs that may possibly be involved with relapse. More recently, new and compelling data indicating that alcoholism is a common familial disorder have appeared. Clinical studies indicate that alcoholism is a heterogeneous disorder with multiformity in clin ical symptomatology and genetic heterogeneity. The heterogeneity of the clin ical features and the heritability of the predisposing factors of alcoholism are currently under vigorous scientific investigation. In the past several years sophisticated psychosocial studies have provided fundamental information on subjects at high risk for alcoholism. Psychosocial and biological studies of families including alcoholics and subjects at high risk are likely to bring new insights to our understanding of etiological factors. Moreover, as a result of these studies we stand to develop better prevention initiatives and treatment approaches.

Book The Bible and Alcohol Use

Download or read book The Bible and Alcohol Use written by Glen Striemer and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-18 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible have to say about drinking wine and alcoholic beverages? What are the different Bible words used in the Hebrew and Greek to differentiate between fermented and non-fermented wine? Did Jesus create fermented wine at the wedding feast? Author Glen Striemer brings clarity to this confusing and often misunderstood topic in the Bible. He takes the reader on a thought-provoking tour from the first pure fruits in the Garden of Eden, to the drunken feasts of the Old Testament kings, to the warnings of the prophets against wine, to the use of wine and what it symbolized in the sanctuary service, to the meaning of the Nazrene vow, and to the use of wine in the communion service. The effects of alcohol on various parts of the body are discussed, along with a warning to Christians and about the use of wine and alcoholic beverages. Alcohol has been the biggest curse and tool of Satan since creation. The author challenges all Christians to remember they are now part of the royal priesthood forbidden to drink alcohol. With God's help, they are to live a sanctified life without alcohol in the days just prior to Christ’s return.
