One of the major theoretical and empirical challenges in social drug research is to capture and understand the variety of meanings attached to taking drugs and to being intoxicated. The European Society for Social Drug Research (ESSD) aims to promote social science approaches to drug research. The ESSD’s annual conferences are complemented with an annual book. The purpose of this book is to further those research efforts.
