Drinking Culture

What is drinking culture? 

Drinking culture embodies the contexts around the consumption of alcoholic beverages. As mentioned in a previous post, the communication contexts are cultural, social, physical, psychological and temporal. 

Depending on where you are in the world, the act of drinking can vary immensely. Of course, the decision to consume alcohol (or abstain from it) is very much based on our beliefs, values, attitudes, perceptions and behaviors. There are vast reasons why many people engage in consumption and how they got started. 

Drinking cultures may determine: 

🍺Type of beverages 

🍷Whether or not there is food 

🥃Location 

🍹Time of day 

🍸Day of the week 

🥂With or without company 

🍶Mood
