Description: You Owe Yourself a Drunk: An Ethnography of Urban Nomads. James P. Spradley. Little, Brown. Little, Brown Series in Anthropology. Trade Paperback. c. 1970. 6th printing. 301 pages. " An account of the experiences of men who are repeatedly arrested for public drunkenness. This book challenges the idea that these men are simply rejects from society, who cannot organize their behavior by cultural traditions. Using the recently discovered methods of formal ethnographic analysis, the author presents this urban sub-culture as it relates to law enforcement agencies. Life in one jail is described in detail, showing how it changes the men's personal identities, teaching them the skills of this sub-culture and motivating them to adopt a nomadic way of life where drinking is a great social value."
