Zusammenfassung:"Eber combines a sensitive, reflexive style of writing, to create a powerful and insightful account of the changing uses of alcohol among Mayan women.

Alcoholism is much more than a substance abuse issue, it is embedded in social, gender, and ethnic relations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57
