Drunken Comportment: A Social Explanation

By Craig MacAndrew, Robert B. Egerton, Robert MacAndrew, Craig and Edgerton, et al.

Book Overview

When Aldine originally published this book in 1969, the emerging multidisciplinary field of alcohol studies was dominated by biology, chemistry, physiology, and other hard sciences. As such, writes Dwight Heath in his new foreword, the work challenged the prevailing wisdom in the authors' use of historical, ethnographic, and cross-cultural data and their analysis of drinking behavior as an anthropological and sociocultural phenomenon.
