| Alcohol in the early modern period | Alcohol in the early modern period (about 1500-1800) is best understood within the context of the times.

Perhaps more importantly, there developed a new view of the world. The medieval emphasis on other-worldliness - the belief that life in this world is only a preparation for heaven - slowly gave way, especially among the wealthy and well educated, to an interest in life in the here and now.
