Do Beverages and Culture Go Hand-in-Hand?
This is an easy one!
Just like food consumption is more than sustaining bodily function, development and satiation, drinking is more than just hydration. There are a multitude of contexts surrounding the act of drinking; where and when it happens, what’s available, our psychological state, etc. What we drink is still historically impacted by the same things as food such as exploration, migration, colonization, exploitation, transportation and commodification.
I’ll be exploring more of beverage culture this week!
