"Relying on a qualitative research that combines sites observations and interviews, this chapter seeks to point out the spatial, social, and symbolic dimensions of alcohol in Lebanon, a country known to be permissive but where alcohol is not visible or available uniformly. By asking where alcohol can be sold and drunk, I question the place of alcohol in Lebanon, in the twofold sense of the word. This chapter will first consider the in-between situation of such a commodity, through the dual concepts of visibility and invisibility. The issue of the regulation of drink space raised by this in-between situation will then be analysed through the role of different actors (state, private companies, nightlife employees). A last part will focus on competing drinking pattern that result from this regulation: they vary between performance and transgression." (source éditeur)
