This has been a topic of interest to me, so I have a small collection The website of the North Conway Institute, now housed at the archives of the Episcopal church in Austin Texas is very helpful; http://www.episcopalarchives.org/nci_accession.html I've been meaning to do some archival work there for years and still haven't gotten there! The Journal of Ministry in Addiction and Recovery by the Haworth Pastoral Press, even though very sporadic and may not even exist anymore, might hold some historical articles of interest. Some books: No laughing matter by Father Joseph C. Martin, 1982 Ministering to Alcoholics by John E. Keller, 1966 - Augsburg Publishing Stairways to Heaven: drugs in American Religious History by Robert C. Fuller (includes wine), as does his book Religion and Wine Alcohol & substance Abuse - a handbook for clergy and congregations, 1985 by Stephen P. Apthorp Alcohol and the church: developing an effective ministry by Margaret A. Fuad, 1992 Drinking with Calvin and Luther: a history of alcohol in the church, by jim west,2003 There's also more recent denominational books on alcohol, such as for Judaism, Islam, LDS, etc., that give some glimpses into their histories in the 60s and 70s and 80s. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know of writings about the North Conway Institute? (I already have the book The Staggering Steeple: The Story of Alcoholism and the Churches by Paul C. Conley and Andrew A. Sorensen.)
