導論：飲酒社群：世代差異、價值轉換與共有財

Drinking Community: Generation Gaps, Value Shifts and the Common Good

食物的意涵超越營養與味覺，不只滿足生理需求、個人樂趣、與文化慣習，同時也是權力、道德與社會創新的場域。延續Paul Rozin對食物多重意涵的觀點，酒是社交與情感互動的媒介、身體愉悅與文化象徵的來源，牽涉禁忌、健康與道德的矛盾，反映經濟、宗教、性別與世代差異。Dimitra Gefou-Madianou認為，飲酒是文化政治的實踐，揭示自由與規範、個體與公共倫理之間的張力。

Social psychologist Paul Rozin argues that the meanings of food extend beyond nutrition and taste, combining physiological needs, cultural pleasures, moral anxieties, and social innovations. Extending this perspective to alcohol, drinking functions both as a medium of social and emotional interaction and as a source of bodily pleasure and cultural symbolism, while simultaneously involving contradictions of taboo, health, and morality, and reflecting economic, religious, gender, and generational differences. Dimitra Gefou-Madianou presents drinking as a practice of cultural politics, revealing the tensions between individual freedom, social norms, and public ethics.
