A few years ago I taught a senior seminar on Anglo-American temperance movements. Otherwise the only teaching about the history of alcohol that I have done is a class meeting on drink and temperance (mostly pressure groups) in my Victorian England upper divisionn course. There is not much available in an affordable format for use as required readings. I understand that the new book on the USA by Thomas Pegram will be available in paperback. Jack Blocker's USA survey is out of print at least in paperback, I think. The special issues of Histoire sociale and of Contemporary Drug Problems and the Histoire sociale-published collection of essays, The Changing Face of Drink, are all rather specialized. I wish that there was a volume on drink in something like the old DC Heath "problems" series. Probably the editors would insist that such a volume be confined to the USA or at maximum scope North America, so that it could be marketed to USA survey courses.
