The sentiment I get from the critical commentary and the essay is the alcoholism in Urban Guatemala is causal for endemic aberrations and an impediment to societal progression. I would caution against overarching force-causing claims by perhaps endorsing a "formation stories" approach elaborated by historical sociologists Daniel Hirschman and Ariail Reed. For example, how does postcolonialism, queer assemblages, and neoliberalism intersect with violence and alcoholism in Urban Guatemala?
