Alcoholic beverages have been regarded as an essential accompaniment to a meal, and used in various social events in our food cultures. However, traditionally women have often been excluded from these types of social events. It seemed that drinking activities were men's privileges. The idea of women drinking alcoholic beverages has often been marked with what Goffman refers to as 'stigma'. This article is a preliminary study that attempts to explain the reason why women's drinking behavior was stigmatized. This is discussed in terms of Goffman's three types of stigmas, namely personal, physical, and racial. Next, it will explain how the stigmatization of female drinkers is depicted in traditional Chinese literature and in the female working class. Finally, it will explore how capitalists use different perspectives on men and women to design advertising to promote alcohol sales. The idea is that although women's drinking behavior have already broken through a lot of the traditional barriers in the past, there still exist huge differences between male and female drinkers from society's point of view. Therefore, we hope that using Goffman's theory of stigma to explain how woman drinking was labeled as a disgraceful behavior, can help women to become more equal to men in our society and provide some reference for future studies. |
