Description
This book is based on the premise that drinking behaviors are primarily learned. The contributors to the book explore the complex array of individual and social factors that impact the development of drinking patterns. They traverse family and culture influences, and the role played by schools, government, and the beverage alcohol industry.
Learning About Drinking offers a rigorous and scholarly examination of drinking behavior brought to life with illustrative cases drawn from around the world. Social policymakers, historians, anthropologists, public health specialists, as well as mental health professionals will find this book of value. Learning About Drinking offers a refreshing, evidence-based look at a process that has too often been taken for granted.

Reviews / Votes
"This book can be useful for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on adolescent development, substance use, or alcohol education and prevention programs. It can also be useful for researchers and policymakers. The strengths of the book are its focus on the factors that promote responsible drinking practices and the presentation of research findings from various countries that gives it a truly international perspective. This book provides a counterbalance to the extensive literature on the problems associated with alcohol misuse and irresponsible drinking." -- Studies on AlcoholMore details
