Cover illustration: Phanie / Alamy Stock Photo This Palgrave Macmillan imprint is published by the registered company Springer Nature Switzerland AG. The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland This book is dedicated to Wendy Chambers, a woman who was known (on occasion!) to enjoy being intoxicated. I enjoyed our many intoxications, and I miss you. Acknowledgements The idea for this book came about over many conversations and ponderings about the notion of intoxication—what it means, what it feels like, how is it different for different people, and does it change over time? These are just a few of the questions I have considered on plane and train journeys, at conferences (‘The Dangerous Consumptions Colloquium’ crowd needs a special mention here), whilst observing the effects of intoxication in myself and others as well as through asking people about a variety of intoxications over several research projects. Helping these ponderings were a number of academics and researchers whose work I found interesting and inspiring, so I decided to ask them to collaborate on this book with me—I was delighted when they said ‘yes’. So many thanks to all the authors who have contributed their chapters to this edited collec- tion—you have all been wonderful, and (mostly!) on time. Your thoughts, contributions and hard work have been much appreciated. Thanks also go to Josie from Palgrave, who prompted me to start the process of getting this book together, and to Liam and his colleagues who took over and had the unenviable task of trying to get me to be organised and efficient in terms of deadlines. There are many people who contributed to this book in numerous ways, but special thanks go to Archie and Grace, who were fantastic, understanding when mum was ‘always working’ and amusing themselves without getting into too much trouble. Special thanks also go to Steve— vii viii Acknowledgements this book would not have been written without your sacrifices, and I couldn’t have done this without your incredible support as well as your continual encouragement to keep at it. My friends and colleagues at the Institute of Criminology and beyond also need a special mention: Helen, Jo, Sian, Paul, Karen, Desna, Lizzy, Antonia, Sarah, Jan, Lynzi, Trevor, Sally and Jordan in particular—thank you for your words of encouragement, cups of tea and chocolate. Lastly, to my parents Val and David, thank you for your endless love and encouragement over many years of ponderings and for not minding my own (often spectacular!) intoxications.
