Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the underlying causes and consequences of America's drinking problem. Drawing on historical and literary context, the author argues that intemperate drinking is a symptom of a larger societal issue, rooted in the customs and habits of the nation's upper classes. The book contends that the practice of excessive drinking originates at family tables and convivial gatherings, where it is falsely conflated with the virtues of hospitality and good will. The author argues that this normalization of drinking leads to a slippery slope of dependency, with far-reaching consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Ultimately, the book aims to shed light on the true nature of intemperance, challenging conventional wisdom and offering a path toward meaningful reform.
