After the first session of what would become an annual Summer School of Alcohol Studies in 1943, there was strong demand for written copies of the lectures that had been delivered, but only a condensed version of some of the lectures could be made available under the title Abridged Lectures of the First (1943) Summer Course on Alcohol Studies at Yale University.

The following summer, all of the lectures were recorded, and all but four were edited and compiled into a volume entitled Alcohol, Science and Society.

In 1982, Alcohol, Science and Society Revisited was published by the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies with the express intention of updating the state of knowledge of alcohol studies.
