title: [Culture and alcoholism].
abstract: The paper examines the varying importance which has been attributed to alcohol in different periods and emphasis that today cultural attitudes towards alcohol and alcoholics are becoming increasingly ambiguous: there is growing difference towards teetotallers and substantial permissiveness towards drinkers. This incongruous attitude even goes so far as to romanticise the death of several artists from alcoholism.
