Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Liquor Laws, Vol. 2: Part II. Of Liquor Laws of the United States; Their Spirit and Effect The laws of the different colonies derived their peculiar spirit and form from the characteristics, circumstances, man ners and habits of the people for whom they were designed; hence an historical outline of the colonial liquor-laws would not have been complete, perhaps not even intelligible, without a brief description of the economic condition, domestic affairs and social habits of the people. Paradoxical as it may seem, this essential condition of completeness greatly simplifies the author's task. It follows from what has been said, that the greater the similarity, in the points indicated, between the people of any colonies, the greater, also, the sameness of their laws. This is true to such an extent that the liquor-laws of Massachusetts, for example, may fairly be presented as types of those of the other New England colonies - Rhode Island, perhaps, excepted. The social habits, resources, economic conditions and surroundings of the New England people, so far as they bear on the present subject, being very nearly the same, it would have been unwise, because superfluous, to give as detailed an account of each one of these colonies as of Massachusetts. Bearing this in mind, the reader will under stand not only the plan of this book, but also the obvious dis proportion between its several parts. He will find a reasonably complete historical outline of the origin, spirit and effects of the liquor-laws, as well as of the habits and circumstances of the people of massachusetts, virginia, new york, N EW jersey and pennsylvania; and will readily perceive that in regard to Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, the Caro linas and Georgia, the author has endeavored to avoid repeti tions, by confining his review to the particular features in which the laws of the latter colonies differed from those of the former.

In addition, 5 percent of the population consumes 50 percent of the alcohol. The authors take a close look at the problem in a "classy little study," as The Washington Post called this book. The Library Journal states, "...[T]his is one book that addresses solutions....And it's enjoyably readable....This is an excellent review for anyone in the alcoholism prevention business, and good background reading for the interested layperson." The Washington Post agrees: the book "...likely will wind up on the bookshelves of counselors, politicians, judges, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials throughout the country."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
