The work focuses on alcohol in the colonial Chesapeake (mostly tidewater VA, but some interior VA, and hints of MD). I learned more reading this book about not just the regional history that caught my eye, but also about the larger history of alcohol in Western/English society, and how the industrialization of it played out in terms of broader societal trends (ie, women v men, homelands v colonies, etc). Also interesting was how attitudes towards "hard drink" have shifted as we have become less reliant on alcohol for its sterilization and cleanliness abilities.
