Produktbeschreibung
Interpretations by different disciplines of the terms intoxication and drunkenness are often inconsistent, creating confusion and inefficiencies in efforts to combat the negative effects of certain drinking behaviors. With this in mind, the International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP) and DrinkWise Australia collaborated to prepare a publication that seeks to advance understanding of the individual and collective meanings, purposes, and functions of drunkennessa "an insight that is a prerequisite for achieving long-term, self-sustaining cultural change. The chapters of this book discuss intoxication and drunkenness from three perspectives: biological, cultural, and social. By placing intoxication and drunkenness into these contexts, the book is able to offer language and conceptual tools to help advance the ongoing discussion on how best to reduce alcohol-related harm and encourage responsible enjoyment of beverage alcohol.
