| description | Abstract
In Norway in the 19th and 20th century
the consumption of liquor formed the basis for a peculiar political
culture manifested in restrictive alcohol legislation in combination
with a strong temperance movement. A restrictive alcohol culture
in a country where the alcohol consumption was low in comparison with
other countries in Europe at that time is in this article perceived
as a paradox. The article investigates how drinking habits were
practiced among the elites and common people in rural and urban
areas in the county of Telemark and concludes that drinking habits
in Telemark in the 19th century confirm the impression
of Telemark as divided. In the rural and western part of the county
popular drinking habits and practices were maintained. People seemed
to express a mentality in which maintenance of traditions, habits
and practices was valued. A premise for social and cultural acceptance
was to sustain the norms and values that old practices represented.
In the urban areas in Telemark the bourgeoisie influenced
social manners and drinking practices. According to their economic
and cultural power, the bourgeois way of life served as an example
in local communities. Continental manners, which also meant heavy
drinking, were practiced but this way of drinking was perceived
as more “sophisticated”. |
