Cultures

When it comes to alcohol culture refers essentially to two different approaches and ways of drinking:

1. the wet culture, typical of Mediterranean countries, where drinking is associated with food. It is drunk mainly during meals, and it is a culturally accepted behavior. Not being a stigmatized behavior from the social point of view, there are generalized forms of control but only informal.

2. the culture dry, typical of Anglo-Saxon countries, where they drink mostly between meals, especially spirits. Since a way that is not socially accepted it is subject to a formal control procedures implemented by means of repression, even with respect to advertising and sale of alcohol.

In Italy in recent years, seems to be spreading a kind of intermediate culture: the wet culture, which combines the traditional way some typical aspects of the Nordic countries.
