Social Background Shapes Alcoholism Says Yale Expert
Selden D. Bacon of Yale's Center for Alcohol Studies argues that emotional problems contribute to alcoholism but are shaped by social and cultural context. He outlines four societies where drinking roles differ, noting Orthodox Jews rarely become alcoholics due to sacred use, while northern European Protestants show variable rules and higher incidence among drinkers. He cites Mormon, South American, and other cultures to illustrate how social function and learned behavior influence onset, treatment, and framing of the disease.
