Examines how family members in 18 countries attempt to influence each other to drink less. Data come from the GENACIS (Gender, Alcohol and Culture: an International Study) dataset (overall sample 44,115). The percentage of people who had experienced family member pressure to drink less were compared to country abstinence rate, mean drinking volume per drinker and other societal-level factors. Countries differed greatly on proportion of drinkers having experienced family members' pressure to drink less, however, in all countries drinking women reported less pressure than drinking men in their own society. Informal pressure was exerted most often by the spouse or sexual partner, and was found to be highly correlated with the country's socioeconomic conditions.

[...] a third theme is the focus on "reproductive disruption," borrowing a term from biology. The response to FINNRAGE, the effort to broaden out possible understandings of reproductive technology, have been rooted in feminist anthropology and the unexpectedly productive second career of Levi-Straussian kinship studies- rescued by feminist scholars such as Sarah Franklin from the attics where antique anthropological concepts are kept and used as a framework to explore the cultural meanings and fraught paradoxes of thinking reproduction.3 There are good reasons for the long shadow of the FINRRAGE position, continuing well after its descriptive inadequacy has become clear (women and feminists actually do seek out and even rejoice in the availability of reproductive technology, and to cal...
