Sammanfattning
Mens and womens alcohol consumption has always differed. This is explainable
in a heteronormative society, where the gender roles or what gender is,
can or ought to be are explicit present. However around 1900 we have several
female practices for alcohol consumption: The ‘normal’ women was temperate,
but she could use alcohol to revolt against her femininity either to practice a
high alcohol consumption in secret to owercome her femininity or to drink in
public in order to use alcohol a male attribure as a symbol of emancipation
asking for gender equality in relation to alcohol. Thus the construction of
gender and alcohol has constantely been negotiable. New focus on the damage
of alcohol consumption has successfully reintroduced the biological gender
and as a consequence also a temperate female consumption patterns as an
important part of the realization of the modern welfare project. Followed by a
possible restigmatization of female drinking.
