There's also, W. Jankowiak and D. Bradburd, eds., DRUGS, LABOR, AND
COLONIAL EXPANSION.  U. of Arizona Press, 2003.  I don't think it's in
paper, but it has an interesting overview essay.  Also some interesting
individual essays, including one by yours truly on alcohol and the slave
trade and one also by Peter Mancall, whose work I regard as very
important to the broader field David is addressing.

Dear David et al.,

Now that John Crowley has recommended the UMass volume, let me helpfully
(and shamelessly) provide the title:

Sarah W. Tracy and Caroline Jean Acker, ALTERING AMERICAN CONSCIOUSNESS
--
THE HISTORY OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1800-2000,
University of Massachusetts Press, 2004.

It's a wide ranging volume of essays that cover both alcohol and drugs;
also provided is a historiographic introduction and bibliography for
further reading. Caroline and I designed it with course use in mind.
David
Courtwright's book, FORCES OF HABIT has worked very well with my
upper-level undergraduates. I also recommend Lori Rotskoff's LOVE ON THE
ROCKS, and Estelle Parsons' MANHOOD LOST. I've used Caroline Knapp's
DRINKING A LOVE STORY and Augusten Burroughs' DRY -- A MEMOIR as well
with
great responses from students.

Best,
Sarah Tracy
