Description:	‘Drunkenness desires lust.’1 This was how the Elizabethan Robert Greene described the connection between the consumption of alcoholic beverages and sexual activity, a connection that many people assume results from the physiological effects of drinking. Anthropologists have discovered, however, that drinking behavior and drunken comportment are socially mediated; they are learned behavior and comportment. The consumption of alcohol causes physiological changes that are scientifically verifiable, but much of what passes for drinking behavior and drunken comportment varies from one society to the next.
