Abstract
There is a richness and diversity of alcohol history. At the international level, alcohol historians are animated by an esprit de corps which helps facilitate the development of cross-national trends and comparisons. The work of the Social History of Alcohol Conference at Berkeley in 1984, the alcohol epidemology section of ICAA and now the Kettil Bruun Society should be mentioned. The US and Scandinavian traditions of work are notable. Why is this so? The names and places mentioned above give a clue.
