[A] Gender differentiator
[B] Mark of Personality
[C] Adoption of foreign drinks
[D] Statement of affiliation
[E] Situation definer
[F] Classification of drinking pattern
[G] Status indicator
It is clear that in all cultures where more than one type of alcoholic beverage is available, drinks are classified in terms of their social meaning, and the classification of drinks is used to define the social world. Few, if any, alcoholic beverages are "socially neutral": every drink is loaded with symbolic meaning, every drink conveys a message. Alcohol is a symbolic vehicle for identifying, describing, constructing and manipulating cultural systems, values, interpersonal relationships, behavioral norms and expectations. Choice of beverage is rarely a matter of personal taste.
【B16】______________________________________________
At the simplest level, drinks are used to define the nature of the occasion. The type of drink served defines both the nature of the event and the social relationship between the drinkers. The choice of drink also dictates behavior. In many Western cultures, champagne is synonymous with celebration, such that if champagne is ordered or served at an otherwise "ordinary" occasion, someone will invariably ask "What are we celebrating?"
【B17】______________________________________________
Choice of beverage is also a significant indicator of social status. In Poland, for example, wine is regarded as a high-status, middle-class drink, while native beers and vodkas are "ordinary*’ or working-class.
【B18】______________________________________________
Choice of beverage may also be a statement of affiliation, a declaration of membership in a particular group, generation, class, "tribe", sub-culture or nation and its associated values, attitudes and beliefs. Certain drinks, for example, have become symbols of national identity: Guinness for the Irish, tequila for Mexicans, whisky for Scots, ouzo for Greeks etc. One’s national beverage can be a powerful expression of one’s loyalties and cultural identity.
【B19】______________________________________________
While differences in age, class, status, aspirations and affiliations are frequently expressed through beverage choice, the most consistent and widespread use of alcohol as a social "differentiator" is in the gender-based classification of drinks. Almost all societies make some distinction between "masculine" and "feminine" beverages: even where no other differentiation is found, this primary division is likely to be evident, and, often, to be rigidly observed. Even in societies where only one alcoholic beverage is available, such as palm wine among the Lele of Zaire, a weaker, sweeter version, Mana ma piya. is considered suitable for women, while Mana ma kobo, described as "strong" and "fierce", is a man’s drink.
【B20】______________________________________________
It appears that the adoption of foreign drinks also involves the adoption of the drinking patterns, attitudes and behavior associated with the alien culture, while other societies absorb foreign drinks without "taking in" any of the associated cultural approaches. When the British go to France, they exhibit a tendency to drink wine in beer quantities and display all of the behavioral excesses associated with their native drinking patterns, with the result that young British tourists "are now renowned in France and elsewhere in Europe for their drinking and drunkenness". In Spain, by contrast, the young males appear more sensitive to alien cultural influences.
In spite of many areas covered, information on the symbolic meanings of different types of alcoholic drink is still incomplete. Therefore, further and more precise research on the symbolic functions of alcoholic beverages is needed.
