Great talk! Let us know what you'd like us to do next. We are free to join, like all @drinkingstudies.bsky.social groups and welcome new members.
Thank you so much to @lottelouisa.bsky.social for a fascinating talk on beer consumption of Central European women tourists at today's @womenandalcohol.bsky.social seminar. So interesting to hear about the manner in which these women talk about drink and drinking in their private diaries

Had a great time @bavs-uk.bsky.social last week. Not been for a long time and was really impressed by the quality of the papers and the great chats I had with so many. Thanks also to my PhD sister @jendeavour.bsky.social for getting this pic of me in action, probably laughing at one of my own jokes.

I very much enjoyed the paper from Fionnula Simpson, on 'Female Drinkers and their Doctors in 19th-Century Irish Fiction'. Prescribed alcohol solidified doctors' professional authority & gave them access to women's bodies; women medicalized their own drinking
