High-value bridge from fermentation to spirits as a social change, with history and technical details independently corroborated before publication.
Technical exposition 204–208 is not suitable as a distillation authority; p 205 temperature conversion is inconsistent and p 206 mixture separation oversimplified. Do not repeat p 208 assurances about beer/wine intoxication. Timeline 210 is schematic, not an independently verified chronology. Notes 304–305 route to Rogers, Gately, Earle and Schivelbusch.
Slingerland acknowledges harm and argues that higher concentration and drinking outside regulating social contexts alter the conditions under which drinking occurs. He contrasts idealized drinking cultures and discusses colonial disruption and stereotypes.
