Making liquor isn't rocket science: some raw materials, a stove, and a few jury-rigged pots are all that's really needed. So when the colonial regime in turn-of-the-century French Indochina banned homemade rice liquor, replacing it with heavily taxed, tasteless alcohol from French-owned factories, widespread clandestine distilling was the inevitable result. The state's deeply unpopular alcohol monopoly required extensive systems of surveillance and interdiction and the creation of an unwieldy bureaucracy that consumed much of the revenue it was supposed to collect. Yet despite its heavy economic and political costs, this unproductive policy endured for more than four decades, leaving a lasting mark on Indochinese society, economy, and politics.The alcohol monopoly in Indochina was part of larger economic and political processes unfolding across the globe. New research on fermentation and improved still design drove the capitalization and concentration of the distilling industry worldwide, while modernizing states with increasing capacities to define, tax, and police engaged in a never-ending search for revenue. Indochina's alcohol regime thus arose from the same convergence of industrial potential and state power that produced everything from Russian vodka to blended Scotch whisky. Yet with rice liquor part of everyday life for millions of Indochinese, young and old, men and women, villagers and city-folk alike, in Indochina these global developments would be indelibly shaped by the colony's particular geographies, histories, and people.Imperial Intoxication provides a unique window on Indochina between 1860 and 1939. It illuminates the contradictory mix of modern and archaic, power and impotence, civil bureaucracy and military occupation that characterized colonial rule. It highlights the role Indochinese played in shaping the monopoly, whether as reformers or factory workers, illegal distillers or the agents sent to arrest them. And it links these long-ago stories to global processes that continue to play out today.

"The safe disposal of distillery waste into the environment, as well as their recycling and management, has become a hot topic in developing countries including India. This gross misconduct creates serious environmental and public health hazards. Thus, adequate management of waste has become a priority of environmental engineers and biotechnologists for environmental safety and sustainable development. Recent Advances in Distillery Waste Management for Environmental Safety covers specific, advanced, and updated knowledge on various developed individual and/or innovative, green, and emerging plant-microbes based technologies uses for management and recycling of distillery waste in an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective manner for sustainable development. Moreover, this book provides comprehensive state-of-the-art information on the physicochemical properties, chemical composition, and environmental risks associated with distillery waste. Moreover, the book also discusses various existing methods and technologies, up-gradation of existing technologies, the advent of newer technologies for the treatment, processing, and disposal of distillery waste, and focus areas for further development. This broad and unique coverage allows treatment firms and regulatory authorities to determine and develop appropriate treatment strategies for site-specific problems of distillery waste remediation. Features: Provides practical solutions for the treatment and recycling of distillery waste illustrated by specific case studies. Focuses on recent industry practices and preferences, along with newer approaches for wastewater treatment. An instructive compilation of treatment approaches, including advanced physicochemical and integrated/sequential methods. Covers biocomposting of sludge and effluent and biodiesel production from distillery waste for recycling and sustainable development. Emphasizing the relationship of metagenomics with organometallic compounds of distillery waste. Discusses the role of ligninolytic enzymes and bioreactors in distillery wastewater treatment. This book serves an accessible reference to assist, engineering consultants, industrial waste managers, policy-makers, environmental engineers, government implementers, researchers, scientists, and a wide range of professionals responsible for regulating, monitoring, and designing industrial wastewater treatment techniques, who aspire to work on the reclamation, recycling, and management of distillery waste or wastewater pollutants for environmental safety and sustainable development"--
