It also examines the Essay in the context of Trotters own life and mind a mind preoccupied with what he saw as the degenerative tendencies of modern civilization and with the wider issues of drug dependence.
It was during the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that the problem of chronic alcohol dependence in modern society and its consequent medical effects emerged. The topic of drunkenness figures prominently in the thinking and writing of social reformers, politicians, theorists, medical practitioners, and psychiatrists.

Through case studies based on wide experience, he detailed the manifestations of alcoholism, ventured therapeutic recommendations, and squarely termed drunkenness a disease indeed, a mental disease.
