About This Book

A cultural-historical survey of drinking traditions that treats beverages such as mead, beer, wine, and spirits in distinct chapters. It describes places of consumption — inns, taverns, clubs, festival settings, and notable local customs — and recounts rituals, toasts, and convivial practices. The author analyzes patterns of consumption across social groups, including nobility, townspeople, clergy, women, and students, and discusses medical, poetic, and humorous responses to alcohol. Combining anecdotes, archival citations, and commentary, the work offers an accessible overview of how drinking shaped social life, celebration, and ritual over time.
