Who is "Drunk Me"?: Women's embodiment of drunkenness as a relation to the self2022 •
Messy, problematic, drunk women are well-established figures in popular culture. This chapter begins by addressing the one-sided nature of such representation, and continues to analyse findings gathered through qualitative interviews with a small group of women to deliver insights into the ways that drunk women engage in dialogues with themselves, and take time to ‘be’ in their bodies. The significance of this research is based in exploring the underside of masculinised alcohol culture, seeking out the untold stories, meanings and sensations that exist for women drinkers. The analysis is anchored by Iris Marion Young’s (1980) work in her essay ‘Throwing like a Girl’ and argues that it is possible to think of women’s intoxication as capable of causing a break in the cycle of their self-surveillance. I suggest there are significant benefits in re-framing casual drinking as a potentially productive activity for women to engage in; as an opportunity to use alcohol to explore the ways they perceive themselves and, to open up possibilities of alternate relations to the self.

Drinking stories as a narrative genre: The five classic themesDrinking stories feature widely in Western societies. Many people eagerly share their stories in the aftermath of drinking events. These stories are also common in books, movies, music and the media. Based on qualitative interviews with 104 young Norwegian heavy episodic drinkers, the article seeks to establish drinking stories as a distinct narrative genre. We argue that this narrative genre of drinking stories comes from an oral storytelling tradition which uses transgressions to trigger interest, entertain, and challenge commonly held views. These transgressions typically come in the form of playful violations of conventions and common sense and tend to centre around five classic themes: sex, bodily harm, bodily fluids, lawbreaking and pranks. While often dismissed as trivial, vulgar and of little literary value, drinking stories are highly valued by many people and have significant consequences for how people experience drinking and behave while being drunk.
ABSTRACT Young people’s alcohol consumption has been the focus of heightened concern over ‘binge drinking’ in social policy, academic research and popular culture. A normalized culture of intoxication is now central to many young people’s social lives, playing an important role in the night-time economy of towns and cities across the UK. In this article we draw on the findings of a study on the significance of alcohol consumption in the everyday lives of ‘ordinary’ young adult drinkers to explore the significance of loss of consciousness and loss of memory in their drinking stories. Through an analysis of focus group discussions with 89 young women and men aged 18 to 25, we explore the role of ‘passing out stories’ in the classed and gendered domain of young people’s alcohol consumption in the neo-liberal social order, focussing on the constitution of risk and pleasure in their accounts.

‘The Delightful Logic of Intoxication’: Fictionalising AlcoholismAlcohol invariably connotes different, often conflicting, feelings. As Iain Gately rightly observes in Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol (2009), it “has been credited with the powers of inspiration and destruction” (1). This reflection is as relevant to classical antiquity, when wine was savoured during the Greek symposia, as to the modern world, in which alcohologists study the devastating effects of alcohol abuse. However, much as sociological, psychological, and medical research into alcoholism provide statistics, problem-analysis, and therapeutic approaches, literature offers representations of alcoholism which allow for a more profound insight into alcohol dependence and its many implications. This article focuses on how alcoholism is dissected and contextualised in literature, predominantly in contemporary English fiction.
