【衝撃！】なぜ江戸時代にアルコール依存症が増えたのか？水より安い酒にハマった庶民の末路【江戸時代の庶民】【江戸浮世録】

Why did so many common people succumb to alcoholism during the Edo period? In fact, in some areas of Edo, alcohol was even more readily available than water, and people sought it to alleviate the fatigue and loneliness of daily life. This video explores the "sake culture" that spread throughout Edo and the little-known reality of common people who suffered from alcohol addiction. This video carefully explains, from the perspective of Edo commoners, the background of how izakayas (Japanese pubs), street stalls, and sake became ingrained in daily life, as well as the deep relationship between Edo-period food and Edo cuisine. We'll clearly unravel why people became dependent on alcohol, considering the living conditions, harsh work, and stress of tenement housing at the time, all within the context of Japanese history and Edo culture. We also focus on people whose lives were ruined by alcohol, and why bars continued to be cherished as a "place of solace." Through the relationship between human weakness and entertainment, which resonates even today, you can experience the realistic Edo nights, rarely depicted in historical dramas, along with the world of ukiyo-e prints. ▶Please subscribe to our channel! https://youtube.com/@edoukiyoroku?si=...
