Overview

The outgrowth of more than forty years of reseach, Drinking Occasions demonstrates how well-integrated normal drinking occasions can be with many other aspects of human life. The challenge for alcohol policy around the world is to create an environment in which the beneficial potential of moderate drinking is maximized and the harmful potential of excessive drinking minimized. Drinking Occasions contributes to this discussion by providing an unbiased account of what actually goes on when people decide to have a drink. The book is also a fascinating look at the various ways in which alcohol has become integrated into people's lives around the world.
