Résumé : | Doctors usually consider women as "naturally" sober. Yet, since decades, they worried about the increase, real or assumed, of female alcoholism. The analysis of medical discourses about women and alcohol since alcoholism was defined by Magnus Huss in the middle of the XIXth century till nowadays allows to show the permanence and the changes that affect the perception of this unbearable phenomenon. First a "social pain", symptom of the decadence of the race, female alcoholism is not considered as specific because it's invisible. Then, women who drink are paradoxically described. On one hand, they are assumed to suffer of a lack of femininity (a "real" woman doesn't drink). But on the other hand, they are alleged to have female ways of drinking (specific consumptions, specific reasons to consume). |
