Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and insightful look at the drinking culture of Great Britain and Ireland in the 19th century, focusing on the ingrained customs and rituals surrounding alcohol consumption. The author meticulously details a multitude of "usages" ââ â from apprentice entry fees spent on drink to the obligatory "tasting" at business transactions ââ â highlighting the pervasive nature of alcohol in nearly every facet of society. This exploration delves beyond mere descriptions of social practices, providing a commentary on the dangers of these "compulsory drinking usages" and their impact on personal and social well-being. The author advocates for a shift in societal norms and calls for a reform movement to combat the deeply rooted habitual drinking prevalent throughout the nation. The book's comprehensive examination of these customs, their origins, and consequences, makes a compelling case for recognizing the cultural underpinnings of inebriation in Great Britain and Ireland, thereby offering a valuable historical perspective on the social and moral dilemmas of the era.
