Much of the nature of the widespread use of alcohol at this time is cited by the author, who also notes the high rate of alcoholism among slaves, the way women drank in private so their family would not know, the relationship of alcohol use to social position, and so on. Drinking was only one factor marking social divisions, and it as one of the few that could be controlled. Rorabaugh emphasizes the nature of the problem, or at least one possibility for its nature, with his sub-title "An American Tradition," suggesting that being drunk is somehow an American tradition and that the subject needs to be approached form that standpoint.

Rorabugh writes well, as does Johnson, and both books are readable and make coherent arguments that are fully referenced and well reasoned. Both books deal with a segment of the larger American social order, and both books contain controversial arguments about the degree to which the segments of society discussed reflect truths about American society as a whole or only describe a unique and isolated segment.
Both stores have been told before and indeed were told and commented on by observers at the time. The arguments in both books have some impact on the social order seen today as well. The authors of both books do extensive research and provide the necessary information so the reader could redo that research on his or her own as well. That approach suggests that the authors have nothing to hide and that they fully expect anone who looks at their research to confirm it if they do follow up. It is presumed that if any reader does follow up on this information, the vies in these books would indeed be confirmed by a neutral researcher.
