The Discovery of Addiction: Changing Conceptions of Habitual Drunkenness in American History



For a long time, this was the most well-known article of mine. It got the Keller Award from the Journal of Studies on Alcohol. Its been cited and quoted many times -- mainly to show that addiction has a history.

Until recently the main link to it has been to the web site of the Lindesmith Center site(now also drugpolicy.org) where they put up a complete version of the original article. They've just redone their site, and not all of their links work yet. So I've finally been moved to put up a version of my own (currently stored on the Queens College Sociology Dept web server).
