    One-sided, white colonialist perspective
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2024*

The author is aggressively pro-drinking and only comes from that one perspective throughout the book.This is not a balanced or accurate understanding of history because he makes it out as though all cultures are pro-alcohol and that different people of different cultures and faiths don't have different attitudes or approaches when it comes to drinking alcohol, just as with pre-marital sex etc. In other words, not all people see drinking as a positive thing to do.He hammers on throughout the book that in ancient history, lots of people drank and that alcohol played a social role all over the world, which is true. However, he sweeps right over the level of devastation caused to so many lives by drinking and getting drunk. He insists that this is an ethical and even 'essential' thing to do, almost to the point that he believes we're incapable of socialising or having a good time without alcohol.In workplaces, there is a huge pressure placed on people to drink and attend the pub after work. Particularly Muslim colleagues who often don't wish to participate in this and their refusal to do so can actually have career-destroying consequences. I've seen people get fired over it. It's discrimination. The author doesn't explore such issues, as again, he has a view that is very biased in favour of drinking.The author refuses to consider any other point of view on this subject, such as that maybe people have their own personal reasons for not drinking as much as past generations.Also, be mindful that the author has in the past made Islamophobic comments such as 'early Islam banned alcohol to distinguish itself culturally from its other Middle East and Mediterranean neighbors'. By making such comments, he has belittled and disrespected people's faith and how important it is to them.
