I'd consider Catherine Ferland's work important.  She has several articles 
out on the topic of alcohol consumption in New France.  Here's one of them.
Catherine Ferland, "Le nectar et l'ambroisie: La consommation des boissons
alcooliques chez l'élite de la Nouvelle-France au XVIIIe siècle." Revue
d'histoire de l'Amérique Francaise, 58.4 (Printemps 2005), pp. 477-505.

Cheers,
Cynthia Belaskie
