Great to be part of #DSN2024 discussions on how consumption, regulation + representation of alcohol intersect to shape cultural attitudes to alcohol. Historical, cultural + literary studies have a huge amount to add to debates on how we drink, and how we *think about* drinking.

This should be a great event. Really looking forward to talking about our recent report and hearing from the excellent lineup of speakers. Lots to discuss…

At our upcoming Insights Event we'll have interactive parallel sessions covering topics like inhalation pipe provision, prescribing benzos, residential rehab and more!
