Hello all.
I may be looking in all the wrong places, but I seem to be unable to find
any extended, direct, recent comparisons between nineteenth-century ideas
about alcohol and opiate use and habituation.  I am finding that historians
who do discuss the two forms of addiction generally either deal with one,
nodding perhaps to the other, or conflate different forms of addiction.  I
find that conflation in primary material, too, and I figure someone has had
to examine this topic in detail.  I could really use a solid comparison.
Any suggestions?
