Excerpt from The Social and Political Relations of Drunkenness: Two Lectures Gentlemen, I Publish these Lectures to famish a correct and complete statement of what I said on a recent occasion, and I dedicate them very gratefully and very cordially to you. In doing this I beg leave to commend the great cause I advocated to your keeping. I shall say nothing to you of the past, more than to thank you warmly for your sympathy for me when insulted; of the future I will say something by way of caution and counsel. You are entering upon life at an epoch which, in the opinion of many, will be signalized by a conflict of principles. While science is penetrating into the domain of dogmatic theology, and unsettling creeds, outspoken atheism openly attacks the principles of religion, and the more mischievous infidelity of a widely-spread pharisaical hypocrisy is undermining the practice of it. Between these two, - freedom, faith, religion, morals, are endangered; and therewith all that is dear to man. One side or the other you must take; for principles will be applied to practice; no matter whether they be good or evil, - by yourselves as individuals, - by the social whole of which you will constitute a part. I have long ago concluded, that the highest and truest development of Christianity will be attained when we unite Christian science with the principles of the Christian faith. And this is the living idea of these lectures. All the science of the era, of whatever kind, is Christian: Christian in its origin; in its tendencies; in its free communication to men; in its beneficial uses. But the science of human nature which I specially commend to your notice in these Lectures is above all and emphatically Christian; for it applies all human knowledge to the elevation of mans whole nature. It is in truth a genuine Christian philosophy, and is carefully to be distinguished from mere speculative systems, whether they be new or old. When a similar conflict of opinion took place in the last century, the University of Edinburgh rallied round the tricolor flag of religion, science, and common sense, - the flag of the Scottish philosophy. It sided neither with the modern Sadducee nor the modern Pharisee; but following the example of our Divine Master, maintained the doctrines of life and immortality, and the weightier matters of the law - Justice, Judgment, and Truth. Let us again raise the Scottish tricolor; and if any of you yearn for a deeper spiritual life than mere philosophy affords, it will be an encouragement to you, as you pursue your scientific culture, to remember that all truth is a revelation from God; and that even now in the present age, as in days of old, if you but enter into real and close communion with Him, He will reveal his truths to you. It will be seen that, at the conclusion of my Second Lecture, I spoke specially of the social relations of medicine as a science and an art. I wish to explain here that it was of the science specially and its effects that I spoke, and not of the medical profession specially. That has not attained to the ideal; it is but a body of men with like failings as other men; neither better nor (I hope) worse than any other body of professional men. Selfish ends are pursued in it as in other professions; and petty jealousies and quarrels, with all their poor results, arise in it as in others. Yet it cannot be charged with great crimes; it has no religious wars nor bloody persecutions to answer for; it has never humbled itself willingly to the Baals of modern society, nor sold its freedom for a mess of pottage. Gentlemen, recent events amongst you in connection with these Lectures have shewn that there exists a sympathy, although latent, amongst the Students of the several Faculties of the University of Edinburgh. Permit me to express a hope that in the interests of religion, science, and humanity, this sympathy may deepen and extend into your future life, so.

In recent years, the reduction of alcohol-related harm has emerged as a major policy issue across Europe. Public health advocates, supported by the World Health Organisation, have challenged an approach that targets problem-drinking individuals, calling instead for governments to control consumption across whole populations through a combination of pricing strategies, restrictions on retail availability and marketing regulations. Alcohol, Power and Public Health explores the emergence of the public health perspective on alcohol policy in Europe, the strategies alcohol control policy advocates have adopted, and the challenges they have faced in the political context of both individual states and the European Union. The book provides a historical perspective on the development of alcohol policy in Europe using four case studies – Denmark, England, Scotland and Ireland. It explores the relationship between evidence, values and power in a key area of political decision-making and considers what conditions create – or prevent – policy change. The case studies raise questions as to who sets policy agendas, how social problems are framed and defined, and how governments can balance public health promotion against both commercial interests and established cultural practices. This book will be of interest to academics and researchers in policy studies, public health, social science, and European Union studies.

The meaning that people attribute to things necessarily derives from human transactions and motivations, particularly from how those things are used and circulated. The contributors to this volume examine how things are sold and traded in a variety of social and cultural settings, both present and past. Focusing on culturally defined aspects of exchange and socially regulated processes of circulation, the essays illuminate the ways in which people find value in things and things give value to social relations. By looking at things as if they lead social lives, the authors provide a new way to understand how value is externalized and sought after. Containing contributions from American and British social anthropologists and historians, the volume bridges the disciplines of social history, cultural anthropology, and economics, and marks a major step in our understanding of the cultural basis of economic life and the sociology of culture. It will appeal to anthropologists, social historians, economists, archaeologists, and historians of art.

Questions about drink -- how it is used, how it should be regulated, and the social risks it presents -- have been the source of sustained and heated dispute in recent years. Nicholls puts these concerns in historical context by providing a detailed and extensive survey of public debates on alcohol from the introduction of licensing in the mid-sixteenth century through to recent controversies over 24-hour licensing, binge-drinking, and the cheap sale of alcohol in supermarkets. In doing so, he shows that concerns over drinking have always been inextricably tied to broader questions about national identity, individual freedom, and the relationship between government and the market. He argues that in order to properly understand the cultural status of alcohol, we need to consider what attitudes to drinking tell us about the principles that underpin our modern, liberal society. The Politics of Alcohol presents a wide-ranging, accessible, and critically illuminating guide to the social, political, and cultural history of alcohol in England. Covering areas including law, public policy, medical thought, media representations, and political philosophy, it will provide essential reading for anyone interested in the history of alcohol consumption, alcohol policy, or the complex social questions posed by drinking today.

Issues relating to alcohol 'misuse' can only properly be understood within their social and environmental contexts. This research and practice based book explores social models of alcohol misuse to offer a sociological approach to its treatment. Through considering the social meaning of women's alcohol use, the book challenges current policy and practice in the field. It raises concerns about the political role of 'treatment' in making women behave, or to be 'well', and aims to develop a new approach to women's drinking and new ways of aiding recovery, at national and local levels. With contributions from service users, academics and practitioners, this is essential reading for those studying addiction, gender and the social background to alcohol problems.
