| dc.description.abstract | Alcohol is an important part of Canadian society. For most, it is not the liquid itself that is important, rather it is the meanings associated with the alcohol that individuals latch onto. Social constructions of alcohol within Canadian society create a material and non-material culture of alcohol that individuals must interact with in the world of alcohol. On the micro-level, individuals use the cultural meanings to learn how to engage with and behave on alcohol, while on the macro-level, cultural meanings are used to create policies and guidelines that affect society as a whole. Through examining the impact of the cultural meanings of alcohol on the micro and macro level, this presentation demonstrates why cultural meanings are more important than the alcohol itself. | |
