Looks fun at some point ;) interesting concept

The progress of a drinker represented as a toboggan slide, starting with the popular hotel or drugstore, through saloons, into general 'doggery', then rapidly shotting through gambling, corruption and thenm into drunkard's graves

Of course my favourite representation of the drunkard's progress is this cracker, from (I think) the US in 1887

Dorota Dias Lewandowska's examination of visual representations of drinking women in Poland collected an amazing set of images of different kinds, asking if we can ever come to close to actually-existing historical drinkers @dorotadias.bsky.social 2/3

Second paper for the visualizing pleasures panel of #dangerouspleasures features one of our organisers, @dorotadias.bsky.social talking about how important it is to piece together different historical perspectives left to us by our predecessors to get a slightly more accurate picture

Thanks to @kellygcb.bsky.social and @victoriabates.bsky.social for my first introduction to podcast recording. So fun to chat about our Think While You Drink talks series in local pubs and all the other great stuff that we are doing together with Prof Sam Goodman. Link to recording to follow.

David Beckingham showing Ross Kemp a list of 'habitual drunkards' from Birmingham on Who Do You Think You Are?

Delighted to see @drinkingstudies.bsky.social stalwart David Beckingham explaining Victorian/Edwardian laws on licensing and drunkenness to Ross Kemp on 'Who Do You Think You Are?'

Ross's story further strengthened my belief that drink runs through many family histories, not always in a good way..

For @vinepair.com, I asked historians about tariffs, int’l politics & alcohol. Key takeaways: (1) there are lots of historic examples, and (2) they can create changes that last a long time, often w/ unexpected results. HT @brewedculture.org, @dorotadias.bsky.social, and @justinwolfers.bsky.social.

Magnolias in Warsaw

I’m working on a book about women’s drinking in the 19th century Galicia (Poland) and while I’m digging a lot of archives I also went to the home village of my main heroine and I’m planning to do some ethnographical research. This is quite experimental and raise some ethical questions but exciting!

This is what a happy researcher looks like! Wandering through small villages and parish archives, preparing to write a book about women, alcohol and agency in 19th century Poland.

Badania nad alkoholem uchodzą za kontrowersyjne. Zdarza mi się usłyszeć pytanie, czy to, co robimy, nie jest mało poważne. Jeśli skupiamy się, np. na przyjemności związanej z piciem, to pojawiają się zarzuty, że w ten sposób promujemy alkohol – mówi w wywiadzie dla FA @dorotadias.bsky.social
