Answer

The extensive literature on drinking practices raises some interesting anthropological problems. This paper is not a review of that literature or of any major part of it, but it is rather intended to bring to notice certain problems which merit further attention. The use of alcohol is generally a matter of considerable cultural interest. It may be tabooed; it is not ignored. Even a brief account of the range of drinking practices shows that cultural expectations define the ways in which drinking, both normal and abnormal, is done in a society. This is well known to anthropologists but often glossed over in the medical and behavioral studies of the subject. Cultural variations in drinking have been more often noted by anthropologists than have the cross-cultural similarities. Where drinking is culturally approved, it is typically done more by men than by women. Drinking is more often a social affair than a solitary act, and the social group in which drinking is done is usually composed of age mates and social peers. Where alcohol is used at family meals, it tends to be defined as a food rather than as a stimulant. 

That's why it is a cultural problem.

Handeling money while prepping food is when you are wearing gloves?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Noo.. when you're doing anything with food you should avoid touching money since money is quite dirty, having been in the hands of so many different people. Even if you're wearing gloves while handling the money and food, you shouldn't do both handling money and handling food at the same time.

You have an important exam next week and are very worried about it. What should you do to ease the stress? Study all day and nig
Nikitich [7]
I would say spend less time on optional activities and spend a little while to study each day.

What I personally like to do while I'm studying/reviewing is fill out only two note cards. This forces you to find the most important parts of what you learned, and often times, that's what comes on the test :)
