This book delves into the multifaceted world of alcohol, exploring its production, consumption, regulation, and commerce, as well as the diverse gendered, medical, religious, ideological, and cultural practices that surrounded it from 1850 to 1950. Through a comprehensive analysis of the significant changes in alcohol's societal position, the contributors reveal the profound connections between industrialization, empire-building, and the growth of the nation-state. They also highlight the diverse actors and communities that shaped, challenged, and resisted these processes across the globe. Overall, this book presents a groundbreaking global framework that is essential for comprehending the profound impact of alcohol on shaping the modern world. It demonstrates how empires were not only built through alcohol, but also served as sites for anti-colonial resistance. Additionally, the book explores how alcohol regulations and public health discourses increasingly exposed the intent and reach of state power to monitor and police citizens, while simultaneously legitimizing that power through nationalism. With over 50 captivating images, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers studying the history of alcohol, as well as the cultural history of the 19th and 20th centuries more broadly.
