Wining Etiquette

Social aspects of Drinking

"Where alcohol is known, patterns for its use and for abstention are prescribed, usually in fine detail.

There have been very few, if any, societies whose people knew the use of alcohol and yet paid little attention to it.

Alcohol may be tabooed; it is not ignored",
