	Drinking culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drinking culture is the notable customs shared by groups of people around the world involved in drinking alcoholic beverages.
		Drinking is documented in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, Greek literature as old as Homer, and Confucius' Analects.
		Binge drinking is sometimes defined as drinking alcohol solely for the purpose of intoxication, although it is quite common for binge drinking to apply to a social situation, creating some overlap in social and binge drinking.

		The Culture is a fictional anarchic, socialistic and utopian society created by the Scottish writer Iain M. Banks and described by him in several of his novels and shorter fictions.
		The Culture is a posthuman society, which originally arose when seven or eight roughly humanoid space-faring species coalesced into a quasi-collective - a "group-civilisation" - ultimately consisting of approximately thirty trillion (short scale) sentient beings.
		An analysis of the Culture on the Kardashev scale places it approximately at a level 3 civilization, meaning it is able to harness all the energy of its galaxy.

	Social and Cultural Aspects of Drinking - Culture Chemistry and Consequences (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Drinking, in every culture, is a rule-governed activity, hedged about with prescriptions and norms concerning who may drink how much of what, when, where, with whom, in what manner and with what effects.
		The fact that drinking is, in almost all cultures, essentially a social act, is recognised throughout the anthropological literature, and ethnographic data from a wide range of cultures indicate that solitary drinking is at the very least ‘negatively evaluated’, and often specifically proscribed.
		Drinking is ‘imbedded’ in culture, and most aspects of culture are ‘imbedded in the act of drinking’, therefore we should expect to find relations between males and females, and perceptions of masculinity and femininity mirrored and reinforced in drinking practices.

		Drinking, as we have already noted, is essentially a social act, subject to a variety of rules and norms regarding who may drink what, when, where, with whom and so on.
		In many cultures, the stop off at the drinking-place on the way to work, or to ‘re-fuel’ at lunchtime, is just as common as the after-work drinking session, and alcohol is used to generate ‘energy’ and enthusiasm for work, as well as to relax after work or to celebrate the completion of a task.
		In all cultures, drinking is an essentially social act, and one of the primary functions of alcohol is the facilitation of social bonding.

		At its simplest, binge drinking may be understood as drinking a large quantity of alcohol in a short space of time, with the intention of becoming drunk.

		That some people are unable to control their drinking is no reason to punish society - it is highly annoying, as happened to me last Friday, to emerge from a play at about 11, but to be unable to go anywhere to have a drink afterwards.
