The paper explores cross-national differences in the link between marital status, smoking and binge drinking. Using the International Social Survey Data (ISSP Health and Health Care) from 2011, it tests whether the gap between married and single individuals depends on the prevalence of the vice in the society. This hypothesis was partly corroborated for binge drinking in both male and female samples though the link between marriage and alcohol consumption is reversed in the high prevalence context. In case of smoking, the idea of the decreasing role of marriage in countries where tobacco use is widespread was confirmed only among men. The analysis also showed that cohabitation was not as strongly linked to health practices as marriage.

In this paper, I present and criticize several historical arguments in favour of prohibition and criminalization of illicit psychoactive substances. I consider several versions of Charles Brent’s argument from drug harms and an argument from addiction based on Kantian view on autonomy. My criticism will mainly rely on empirical evidence on drugs, drug use, and addiction. I think that in light of this evidence, all of the arguments lose their cogency or can be refuted altogether. Moreover, the evidence reveals an inconsistency in the international drug law framework. Therefore, I provide in conclusion a general argument challenging the legitimacy of the existing distinction between licit and illicit drugs based on the inconsistency.

The paper is devoted to wine as a cultural and historical phenomenon in the Middle Ages. People consumed wine all their lives, as it was considered to be a universal medicine and a health-promoting drink. Literature on healthy living and medicine has almost always dealt with the consumption of wine. The way wine is consumed also appears in the so-called princely mirrors, manuals for the upbringing of royal and aristocratic children. Wine also accompanied prominent persons after death, as it was used to embalm the bodies of the deceased. Wine was popularly consumed not only in aristocratic settings, but also in cities, as we demonstrate in this study with the example of the city of Bratislava, which was an important wine producer in the Middle Ages. However, excessive wine consumption was also reflected in crime and the commission of various offences, often leading to death or murder.

(Polish title: Style spozywania alkoholu przez studentow lubelskich uczelni wyzszych oraz ich opinie dotyczace wybranych aspektow problematyki alkoholowej). The purpose of this paper is to present drinking patterns among students from universities in Lublin as well their views about regulations on alcohol consumption. Using a questionnaire designed by the authors, a random sample of 810 students aged 21-24 was examined. It included participants from various faculties at: Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Lublin University of Technology, Medical University of Lublin, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, and University of Life Sciences in Lublin. As the results of this study show, particularly those referring to frequent amnesic drinking and binge drinking, the problem of excessive alcohol consumption is not uncommon among students from the surveyed sample. Differences in drinking patterns as well as in opinions about age of safe alcohol use initiation and the Driver's Blood Alcohol Limits (DBAL) were found, depending on the study subject, the year of study and the respondent's gender.

Social networks, in particular Facebook, are part of the lives of almost every individual, and in addition to searching for people, making friends or communicating, they also enable self-presentation (photos, statuses, videos). Part of this, especially among young people, may be the presentation of risky forms of behaviour (e.g. alcohol consumption) that may have direct (attitudes) or indirect (normative beliefs) effects on behaviour. The aim was to prepare a methodology measuring the interconnection of Facebook and alcohol for the purposes of further investigation of the issue in the context of significant socio-psychological factors. The result was 2 factors. The first factor was named as the attractiveness of the alcohol related post (motivation to use alcohol after seeing a Facebook post with alcohol) and consisted of 3 items. The alpha coefficient was 0.87. The second factor was named the incidence of alcohol related Facebook posts of friends and consists of 3 items. The alpha coefficient is 0.74.

Municipal law can be defined as all law relating to towns: it is a set of legal norms that regulated the relationship of townspeople to the monarch and regional institutions, as well as the citizen to citizen relations. It was about all the law to which the citizens were subject or governed themselves. From the point of view of sources of law, municipal law includes all forms – privileges, decrees (laws), but also autonomous statutes and custom. The basis of the study is the sources of municipal law in the narrower sense of the word, namely the area of law within the competence of municipal authorities that regulated relations within the city. It uses sources of law created in the environment of medieval cities which allow a glimpse into the daily life of medieval citizens. The contribution will focus on two aspects of the presence of alcohol in the life of a medieval person. What role did drunkenness/sobriety play in the judicial process, both in relation to the decision-making processes of the court itself, and in relation to offenses by defendants or victims (mitigating circumstance, full awareness for committing the act). The second aspect captured in municipal law is the disputes and rules regulating the relations between citizens and winegrowers, which colourfully portray the daily life associated with the finishing and bottling of wine.

The text of the study focuses on the feasts of Kings of Hungary in the late Middle Ages. Banquets were an important part of life at medieval royal courts, they took place on various occasions – weddings, councils, meetings of rulers or visits of kings to towns. Despite the relatively high frequency of references to feasting, there are only a few reports in the Hungarian milieu concerning the details of the food and drink at individual feasts. In the text, the author focuses on the chroniclers´ descriptions of some important events that provide information about dining and eating at the Hungarian royal court. The aim of the study is to trace what specific banquets looked like, what food and drink were served, how they reflected the social hierarchy of that time or what preparations were necessary to organize a significant feast. Based on my findings, it can be said that banquets served to present the power and wealth of the host; the way guests were seated reflected and symbolized the social status of particular individuals, their relationships to kings, princes, nobles, or prelates.

The paper focuses on the relationship of Czech and Moravian nobility to alcohol according to financial sources until the beginning of the Hussite Revolution. More attention is paid to the production of alcohol (mainly beer, less wine) on aristocratic domains. For the High Middle Ages, it seems that a noble estate was not even self-sufficient in the production of alcoholic beverages. The situation in the early modern period, where efficient farming generates surpluses for the market, and the nobles force their subjects to consume beer from the estate breweries, is still a long way off. This is partly confirmed by the sources showing the consumption of alcohol (beer, wine and occasionally mead).

A characteristic feature of any excise tax is that it represents a significant component of price-settings. Expectations of the government, related to the change of the tax rate for this type of tax, consists in a presumption of the increased revenues to the state budget, even though it could bring so called lateral shift of the tax. Its impact would be a decrease in a consumption of the other commodities. The aim of article is to highlight some macroeconomic consequences of the Spirit market development in Slovakia, with an emphasis on increasing excise taxes on alcohol, its consumption, production and foreign trade balance. The attention of the authors is drawn to the fact that in addition to the high rate of tax affecting the amount of revenue collected by the state, other factors such as consumer saving, lifestyle change, counter advertising and the introduction of more stringent measures in relation to road traffic as well as pressure on imports of identical commodities from abroad, can equally affect state revenue.
