Review
'It is a fascinating ethnographic account of a clash of cultures, a refreshingly detailed contribution to qualitative alcohol studies, and substantive enough to serve as the basis for some fruitful cross-cultural comparisons. Few recent books combine those strengths in a brief, well-organized, and readable format.' - Dwight B. Heath, Brown University
'Bold and creative.' - Anthropos
