Lisa Lindquist Dorr tells the story of the vast smuggling network that brought high-end distilled spirits and, eventually, other cargoes (including undocumented immigrants) from Great Britain and Europe through Cuba to the United States between 1920 and the end of Prohibition. Because of their proximity to liquor-exporting islands, the numerous beaches along the southern coast presented ideal landing points for smugglers and distribution points for their supply networks. From the warehouses of liquor wholesalers in Havana to the decks of rum runners to transportation networks heading northward, Dorr explores these operations, from the people who ran the trade to the determined efforts of the U.S. Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies to stop liquor traffic on the high seas, in Cuba, and in southern communities. In the process, she shows the role smuggling played in creating a more transnational, enterprising, and modern South.Less

This chapter is divided into three parts. The first part commences with a review of economic evaluations in child protection, including preventive and treatment interventions for physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. It then describes the need for methodological improvements in economic evaluation of child protection to include inter-generational effects and recognize unique aspects, such as circular causal pathways, impacts that extend beyond the individual, and cross portfolio impacts. Part 1 examines the internal and external validity of effectiveness evidence and quality of life effects in harm prevention and ends with a discussion of policy relevance. The second part is a detailed discussion of economic evaluation of US welfare reform initiatives aimed at protecting children from parental abuse and neglect. This part addresses the measurement of outcomes in child welfare program innovation, including changes in services, accelerated permanency, health and safety, and changes in children's health outcomes as measured by school performance and delinquency. Part 2 concludes with suggestions for facilitating the conduct of economic analysis of welfare reforms. The third part of this chapter focuses on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). After a brief review of screening, diagnosis and treatment for FASD, it summarizes current evidence regarding the economic burden and cost-effectiveness of FASD treatment and prevention.Less

In the midst of the First World War concern arose as to the virtues of pursuing intoxication at a time of national emergency. As the military front was supposedly let down by drinkers and shirkers at home, attention quickly turned to British drinking practices. Britain, it seemed, was under the duress of a widespread addiction to boozing. When prohibition was deemed too extreme to contemplate, and nationalisation too impractical, the government created an organisation known as the Central Control Board (CCB). This body soon set about reforming the drinking habits of a nation. Loved by a few, but disliked by most, this group was responsible for the most radical and unique experiment in alcohol control ever conducted in Britain. The story of the CCB, how and why it was formed, its history and its legacy upon the British war effort are told within Pubs and Patriots: The Drink Crisis in Britain during World War One.Less

Adolescent substance use has been a major concern in this country. According to the Monitoring the Future study conducted by the University of Michigan and supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a high percentage of American youth has tried or currently use various illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Among the 8th, 10th, and 12th graders surveyed in 2003, for example, one third were using alcohol and one sixth smoked cigarettes. In addition, many adolescents use illegal drugs including marijuana, ecstasy, and LSD. Approximately 17% reported illicit drug use during the month prior to the survey and 37% reported that they had tried it at least once during their lifetime. This chapter discusses the substance use/abuse screening methods that school mental health professionals can easily utilize. It presents a summary table of screening tools developed particularly for the adolescent population. It discusses two screening instruments — Problem-Oriented Screening Instruments for Teenagers (POSIT) and Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI) — which are considered most efficient at school settings. This information covers how to administer the instruments and how to interpret the results. Finally, a case example is provided to demonstrate the techniques described in the chapter.Less

Houellebecq’s La Carte et le territoire/The Map and the Territory (2010) provocatively problematizes the potential of art, literature and the French economy in the global marketplace. Meals and drinks in bars, cafés, restaurants, luxury hotels and the home of a soon-to-be-murdered fictional Houellebecq are the premise for discussions of late capitalism, whilst unwittingly – along with the dislocated gastro-anomie embodied by supermarket shopping and excessive drinking – underscoring how lack imbues twenty-first-century relationships. Literary intertexts related to food and drink expose the problematics of the consumption of the writer in the twenty-first-century marketplace, yet artfully distance the writer from some very problematic discourses. Traces and remainders in leftover bits and pieces of charcuterie and questionable fusion food which pepper the novel magnify Houellebecq’s attempts to represent the world with scraps of more or less throwaway culture. These – deliberately or not – both evoke catastrophic excesses of late capitalism and the interpretative and transformative potential of representations of eating and drinking (although not ecocritical concerns about the planet). Although evoking global systems of exploitative violence fuelling the twenty-first century’s economics of excess, analyses of food and drink in the novel reveals a more positive conclusion: that writing can still create from remainders, whatever the market conditions.Less

One of the most obvious social changes over the second half of the 20th century was the increase in the proportion of young people using alcohol and different kinds of drugs. Recreational use of illegal substances has increased and is now a conspicuous part of the social landscape. We know that using substances is associated with a range of poor outcomes. The UK has a high level of adolescent alcohol consumption and problem use. What are the implications? The literature is rarely focused on the more specifically developmental aspects of use in adolescence, and preliminary evidence suggests that indeed there may be links between the rising trends in both substance use and mental health outcomes.Less

There is suggestive evidence that several domains of social change may 'matter' in regard to increases in emotional and behavioural symptoms of adolescents between the mid 1970s and the mid 2000s. However, our review of the evidence base revealed far fewer 'change' data than we might have expected from the level of discussion around these topics, and some of the change goes in a different direction to what might be expected. In this chapter we discuss some of the wider implications of the work, both for our understanding and also for development of a subsequent research agenda in this area. The study of social history and the way in which social institutions shape adolescent experiences both need to be more fundamental to social science in this area, if we are to understand how changing times lead to changing adolescence.Less

During the 1970s and 1980s, the tensions in the political scene in the Middle East gave rise to the first significant increase of crude oil prices in the international market. Brazil was strongly dependent on foreign oil, which emphasised the effects caused by the first international oil shock on the national economy. The country implemented two types of measures: incentives to a larger participation of hydroelectricity in the primary sector and incentives to research and development of energy alternatives to substitute oil products. During the same period, the country embarked on an important experience in the use of biomass as energy resource on a large scale with the National Alcohol Program. This chapter explores the introduction of biomass in the Brazilian energy matrix from a legal and institutional perspective. After a short survey of the policies and legislation on oil and natural gas, it analyses the existing legal instruments in Brazil to promote the use of biomass as an alternative energy source and whether these instruments effectively contribute to advance renewable energy.Less

Christa Shusko’s chapter focuses on how alcohol-drinking rituals mimic the drinking of blood (really a “blood” punch) in male fraternity groups. Shusko’s chapter examines how the living face death and form community through food, albeit through male bonding rituals of consuming alcohol and reenacting illicit and horrific acts. Shusko contends that alcohol acts as both conduit and medium through which the living come to terms with both death and the macabre. Unlike Graham, who argues that the absence of alcohol reinforces Protestant, and particularly Baptist identity, Shusko points to the use of alcohol as a cohesive agent that brings the community together.Less

Despite its persistence and prevalence in the lives of most Central Americans, alcohol has received relatively little attention in Central American historiography. As a commodity that was produced and consumed locally (and often illicitly), aguardiente (distilled sugar cane spirits or rum) was frequently at the center of economic, political, and social conflicts between local communities and the state. The proceeds from alcohol manufacturing filled government coffers, fueled local economies, and fortified family livelihoods. Yet in a region where historians have emphasized the impact of such export and subsistence commodities as coffee and corn, scholars have neglected the crucial role of alcohol. With an eye toward shedding new light on ethnic, gender, class, and state-subaltern relations, Distilling the Influence of Alcohol explores the ways that the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol have shaped Guatemala’s colonial and national history. With its indigenous, European, African, and Asian influences and diverse mix of peoples—Mayan, Garifuna, Creoles, and Ladinos (non-indigenous Guatemalans)—Guatemala presents an excellent case study to examine how the alcohol economy provided a site of critical social interaction among the contested categories of ethnicity, race, class, and gender.Less

This chapter investigates parental factors in offspring alcohol involvement in the families of the Joint Child Health Project (JCHP), a longitudinal study that has followed a 1969-1970 birth cohort on the east African island nation of Mauritius since 1972. We were particularly interested in whether parent-child gender played a role in these parent-child alcohol relationships. The analytic sample included 1,147 13-24-year-old offspring of the original JCHP birth cohort. Both child-and parent-rated parental drinking norms and behaviors were associated with child alcohol use and binge drinking. Parental predictors of offspring drinking differed for daughters and sons, with daughter alcohol involvement related to both mother and father alcohol-related factors, whereas son alcohol involvement was more associated with paternal factors. These results highlight the value of longitudinal, multi-informant family studies for eludicating how familial factors combine to influence drinking behaviors of younger generations during developmental periods when drinking and high-risk drinking typically emerge.Less

This chapter identities the central importance of alcohol (usually beer) consumption to the carnival fan groups. It considers drug use but does not consider this to be a key driving force for football fan behaviour in the way that alcohol is. It investigates the link between social alcohol consumption and disorder and looks at how the authorities have tried to restrict access to alcohol at and around matches. It looks at the impact of the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985, early kick-off times and alcohol prohibitions on transport to matches and in city centres during European away matches. It concludes that for carnival fans such restrictions do not reduce alcohol consumption on match-days but may result in an increased risk of public disorder as a result of the ways in which fan groups resist them.Less

It considers drug use but does not consider this to be a key driving force for football fan behaviour in the way that alcohol is. It investigates the link between social alcohol consumption and disorder and looks at how the authorities have tried to restrict access to alcohol at and around matches. It looks at the impact of the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985, early kick-off times and alcohol prohibitions on transport to matches and in city centres during European away matches. It concludes that for carnival fans such restrictions do not reduce alcohol consumption on match-days but may result in an increased risk of public disorder as a result of the ways in which fan groups resist them.

Every group has standards of action which are enforced through various social mechanisms. Quakerism’s greatest punishment was “disownment” or the expelling of a member from the group, but this was the result of a sometimes long process of “treating” with errant members. While this structure was common, the particular crimes which occasioned such procedures and the way they were prosecuted were very much local. Alcohol and tobacco are frequently understood as “sinful” in historical archaeological works but chapter 6 complicates this picture, exploring the roles of these substances in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). The chapter also considers the way the “discipline” was and was not applied in the BVI, and continues to trace a series of fault lines within the BVI Quaker community arising from disagreements over priorities and perspectives. The written record is evaluated here, and it is argued that it must be seen as the product of only part of this community which is, in part, countered by archaeological evidence.Less

"Success and Sentiment" describes the system that came to organize the performance and consumption of chimaycha music in the city of Ayacucho over the 2010s. It centers on "modernized" chimaycha, which borrowed heavily from the "tropical" dance music and commercial huayno that dominated Peruvian airwaves in the early 21st century. It shows how artists performing such music provided spaces within which audiences might show their connection to new discourses about Peruvian modernity, even as they affirmed their collective sense of difference as indigenous citizens. The chapter focuses in particular on live performance rather than lyrics or textual analysis, arguing that the meaning of chimaycha music cannot be understood without accounting for the genre's connections to alcohol use and emotional release, each of which is central to the weekly live shows where the music is mostly consumed. Such shows are organized so as to provide listeners with the experience of ecstatic sadness, and the experience of having that sadness recognized, with alcohol and songs of shared pain functioning as means to that end. As such the chapter explores relations between emotion, sound, and emergent indigenous identity that cannot be teased out from textual analysis alone.Less

Sugar plantation work in this early period, into the 1930s, was harsh and unprotected by unions or effective legal enforcement. Field overseers were demanding and sometimes cruel. Picture brides who had never met their husbands in person were disappointed in spouses and living conditions, often worse than the poverty they had fled. But workers, including women, confronted despair with various forms of personal and collective agency, defying powerful forces, whether overseers and bosses with strikes or husbands with desertion.Less

Robert McPherson presents data from an ethnographic study focused upon young people within the Canterbury night-time economy.
He gained access and subsequent immersion into groups of different groups of marginalised young people’s leisure practices.
He critically examines the media construction as of ‘binge’ alcohol consumption, and how negative media representations produced what he describes as a discriminatory moral marginality impacting on young people in the UK.
His data suggest that young people intentionally manage their levels of intoxication to counter moral marginality, which incorporate aspects of risk, agency and resistance.Less

Alcohol Treatment Requirement (ATR) is another treatment order available to the courts, to assist in sentencing an offender. This chapter looks at the author's primary research of how the ATR model was used in an area, and how organised and efficient the model is within the context of coerced interventions and community punishment. The research also explores key themes such as partnership-working, referral, assessment and treatment delivery to highlight the conflicts between reoffending and risk of harm when organisations with different values are involved. The issue of whether alcohol problems are caused by the rise in population-level alcohol consumption is also considered.Less
