The modern conflict over drinking reflects the complex interactions of the individual with small groups and larger society. Small groups, formed by common interests in business or occupation or recreation or neighborhood or politics or ethnicity or religion, use drinking together to facilitate mixing, to engender solidarity, to reduce normal inhibitions against trust in and collaboration with "strangers," to symbolize and ratify accord, and to ensure that gatherings for celebration will succeed as festive occasions. Individuals use alcoholic beverages as an agreeable effector of desired mood alteration, such as moderate relief from anxiety of depression or masking of unease and pain, and to enable participation in the various small groups with which they are required to associate. Given favorable contexts, moderate amounts of alcohol apparently function well in fulfilling these purposes. Given consensual practices. Moderate amounts of drink function integratively within families and in common-interest groups. This is thought to account for the survival of the drinking custom from early times, in spite of the problems it has engendered and the opposition it has provoked. But individuals and sometimes, groups, whether formally or informally organized, also indulge in immoderate, self-injurious, and socially damaging drinking. These dysfunctional behaviors account, in part for the organized societal opposition to any drinking, although the antagonism is sometimes based in more fundamental perspectives of the anti-alcohol sentiment: alcohol has been, from olden times, the facilitator of pleasurable, morally lax, hedonistic behavior; as such, it has evoked the displeasure and condemnation of those favoring moral strictness and an ascetic way of life.
