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
