Alcohol use is complex and multifaceted. Our understanding must be also. Alcohol use, both problematic and not, can be understood at many levels - from basic biological systems through to global public health interventions. To provide the multi-level perspective needed to address this complexity, the Handbook of Alcohol Use draws together an eclectic set of authors, including both researchers and practitioners, to examine the causes, processes and effects of alcohol consumption. Specifically, this book approaches the topic from biological, individual cognition, small group/systems, and domestic/global population perspectives. Each examines alcohol use differently and each offers its own ways to combat problematic behavior. While these alternative viewpoints are sometimes construed as incompatible or antagonistic, the current volume also explores how they can be complimentary.In summary, the Handbook of Alcohol Use brings together an international group of experts to explore how alcohol use can be understood from various perspectives and how these conceptualizations relate. In doing so, it allows us to understand alcohol consumption, and our responses to it, more from an account which spans 'from synapse to society'. Explores alcohol use from individual through to societal levels Synthesizes these varied levels of analysis on alcohol use Draws on an international team of experts including researchers and alcohol treatment practitioners Makes clear the implications of research for practice (and vice versa)

This collection of essays looks at the role the European Union could and should play in promoting healthier lifestyle, in light of the moral, philosophical, legal and political challenges associated with the regulation of individual choices. By tackling the main non-communicable diseases (NCD) risk factors (tobacco consumption, harmful use of alcohol, unhealthy diets and lack of physical activity), the contributors endeavour to identify common themes and determine whether and, if so, to what extent the lessons learned in relation to each area of EU intervention could be transposed to the others. By focusing on the European Union legal order, the book highlights both the opportunities that legal instruments offer for NCD prevention and control agenda in Europe, as well as the constraints that the law imposes on policy-makers.

Le saké est la boisson identitaire des Japonais, mais cette boisson alcoolique issue de la fermentation d’un mélange de riz et d’eau pure, dont la teneur en alcool est généralement comprise entre 12 et 17 degrés, est, en dehors de l’archipel nippon, encore très mal connue. Si peu connu que soit le véritable saké, souvent assimilé à tort à un alcool fort, il est toujours associé au Japon. Une association qui n’est pas si évidente car les Japonais ne sont pas les inventeurs de ces boissons de céréales fermentées qui existent encore aujourd’hui un peu partout dans l’Asie rizicole, de la Chine aux Philippines en passant par la péninsule Indochinoise. Si elles sont partout ailleurs des boissons peu consommées depuis longtemps et si leur fabrication est restée dans la plupart des cas encore très artisanale, au Japon, le saké représente une véritable institution nationale. C’est à cette exception historique et géographique que s’intéresse cet ouvrage en analysant sur le temps long les processus de construction d’une boisson identitaire et de territoires de qualité. Breuvage de civilisation, le saké, par ses paradoxes et ses contradictions dans un marché des boissons aujourd’hui mondialisé, est un excellent révélateur des pratiques alimentaires des Japonais et, au delà, de leur rapport au monde.

"Vice and the Victorians explores the ways the Victorian world gave meanings to the word 'vice', and the role this complex notion played in shaping society. Mike Huggins provides a richer and more nuanced understanding of a term that, despite its vital importance to the Victorians, has thus far lacked a clear definition. Each chapter explores a different facet of vice. Firstly, the book seeks to define exactly what vice meant to the Victorians, exploring how the language of vice was used as a tool to beat down opposition and dissent. It considers the cultural geography and spatial dimensions of vice in the public and private spheres, before moving on to look at specific vices: the unholy trinity of drink, sex and gambling. Finally, it shifts from vice to virtue and the efforts of moral reformers, and reassesses the relationship between vice and respectability in Victorian life. In his lively and engaging discussion, Mike Huggins draws on a range of theory and exploits a wide variety of texts and representations from the periodical press, parliamentary reports and Acts, novels, obscene publications, paintings and posters, newspapers, sermons, pamphlets and investigative works. This will be an illuminating text for undergraduates studying Victorian Britain as well as anyone wishing to gain a more nuanced understanding of Victorian society."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
