Drinking places: where people drink and why (28th December 2007)
It is well-established that attitudes to alcohol vary by social group, but there is little research on how geography affects these attitudes. This report investigates where people drink alcohol and why in two contrasting communities, one urban and one rural. Looking at a range of drinking, from abstinence to binging, the project: explores how socio-economic processes shape local drinking cultures; evaluates the benefits and problems associated with alcohol use; examines how attitudes to and use of alcohol vary across social groupings both within and between the two communities; explores how attitudes have changed between generations and the impact of local history on those attitudes; and identifies the policy implications of the local specificity of drinking cultures.
