abstract="An examination is undertaken of the conservative attitudes of the middle class towards governmental alcohol policy. These are considered within theoretical descriptions of the middle classes, and illustrated with a case study of middle class pub regulars in Helsinki. Empirical material is drawn from eleven group interviews, and a sociosemiotic analysis developed. It is suggested that as middle class conservatism is non-political, individualistic and populist, public policy is seen from a &quot;client&quot; point of view rather than from the perspective of those who feel they have power in society. This is contrasted with the view that the interviewees have of themselves as a culturally and socially superior group.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
