This work brings together a selection of the author's articles, written over a period of 20 years, observing the place of alcohol in American culture. The text also contains several ethnographic studies of bars in San Diego and a study of court-mandated programmes for drink drivers.

Joseph R. Gusfield is professor emeritus of sociology at the University of California, San Diego.
The theme throughout Contested Meanings is the conflicting and changing ways society defines social problems. He emerges in the course of the book as a thoughtful and realistic social critic who looks beyond analyses of drinking as pathological behavior to consider the place of alcohol in American popular and leisure culture.
