TL;DR
The utility of Pierre Bourdieu's sociological framework for delving beyond the dichotomy of young people's drinking decisions as either a determination of their cultural environment or the singular result of a rational individual's independent decision-making is demonstrated.
Abstract
A sociological approach to exploring the complex relationship between drinking and contextual social factors amongst young Australian females is an unchartered area of enquiry. We contribute new theoretically supported insights to create a more complete picture of young females' drinking behaviours.

75 Citations2011Samuel R. Friedman
Examining contemporary comedy taste cultures in Britain argues that comedy now represents an emerging field for the culturally privileged to activate their cultural capital resources, and finds that field-specific 'comic cultural capital' is mobilized less through taste for certain legitimate 'objects' of comedy and more through the expression of rarefied and somewhat 'disinterested'styles of comic appreciation.

The concept of ‘staging intoxication’ is developed to explain how contemporary youth seek to enhance the pleasure and manage the risks of drinking, and individual self-control is a weak moderating force on alcohol consumption in the face of market exploitation, incongruous state control and heavy drinking cultural expectations.
