Your paper project sounds fascinating to me, I'm actually interested in similar issues in the colonial Americas. Peter Mancall has just come out with a book on drinking among Native Americans in North America called "Deadly Medicine" by Cornell UP which I haven't finished reading, but it thoroughly convers all the colonial drinking literature for the British colonies as well as New France and New Spain, and seems to have a good command of current medical ideas on alcoholism, etc., especially as they relate to Native Americans which would be an interesting counterpoint to your discussion of English views of others' drinking, as the epithets they throw at Amerindian drinking are very revealing. I'd be very interested to see a copy of this paper, if you'd care to have an outside reader, anytime.
