It’s disgusting. Makes me almost feel not so sorry for Harvard. Not that big state schools are any better.

It’s not an administration. It’s a regime, and we need regime change!

The origins of Dry January CSU History Instructor David Korostyshevsky discusses the origins of Dry January and humanity’s complex relationship with alcohol.

I loved chatting about alcohol, temperance history, and the Dry January movement with Stacy Nick, the producer of Colorado State University’s award-winning podcast, The Audit.

Beastly Transformations as gluttonous as a pig, as angry as a lion, as quarrelsome as a dog

"...the monstrous drunkard was irredeemable in the eyes of Protestant clergymen, educated medical professionals, and later, temperance reformers, until modern efforts to medicalize alcoholism."

What does the so-called zombie apocalypse of drug addiction in Kensington, a neighborhood in Philadelphia, have to do with early-modern drunkenness? Check out my latest short piece about the monstrous drunkard's "Beastly Transformations" in @contingent-mag.bsky.social.

Incapable of Managing His Estate: Habitual Drunkards and the Expansion of Guardianship in the Nineteenth-Century United States | Law and History Review | Cambridge Core Incapable of Managing His Estate: Habitual Drunkards and the Expansion of Guardianship in the Nineteenth-Century United States - Volume 43 Issue 4

Even though it was published online earlier this year, my recent open-access article about drunkenness and guardianship just got its formal spot in the journal (complete with volume/issue/page numbers), which gives me a chance to shamelessly plug it one more time!

I did a three-option open-ended prompt assignment similar to this in a first year honors courseβ€”many students WANTED to do a traditional research paper, and they did a great job.
