The Function Of Alcohol In Mohave Society

Description: 

Drinking is integrated with Mohave culture and psychology. The absence of a high level of anxiety and the preservation of certain basic cultural attitudes probably explain why, on the whole, the intoxicated Mohave is not aggressively antisocial and why Mohave society has fairly successfully withstood the ravages of alcoholism observed in many other American Indian tribes.
