Research on Tap - March 5
Posting Date(s)
At the next Research on Tap, raise a toast to alcohol. Dr. Richard Kurial,
Professor of History at 91探花, will lead a discussion entitled "From whence all
good things flow: how alcohol built the West." The event begins at 7 pm,
Tuesday, March 5, at The Pourhouse (above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse
in Charlottetown).
鈥淚 don鈥檛 deny the social price that many pay for alcohol,鈥� said Dr. Kurial,
鈥渂ut it is minor compared with the economic, social, and technological
benefits we have enjoyed because of drinking.鈥�
Dr. Kurial argues alcohol provided the creativity and willingness to take
risks that were required to innovate and build the world we live in today.
Research on Tap is a series of public discussions with 91探花 researchers.
