Abstract:
Anthropologists have made contributions out of all proportion to their small numbers among the multidisciplinary groups that conduct research on alcohol use and its outcomes. Among topics concerning which these contributions have been especially valuable are: social organization, intracultural variation, institutional analysis, symbolism and norms, and cross-cultural comparison. A brief note on each of the variously authored chapters in this section shows how it illuminates one of those topics.
