The other is a new project funded by The Alcohol Education and Research Council on binge drinking in historical and cross cultural context.I attach an information sheet about the research. We would like to get comments and references from historians and others.I can paste the text into an e mail if its not possible to circulate attachments.People can reply to me with their ideas.
