Gender and Alcohol: An Exploration of the Gendered World of Public Drinking Establishments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This presentation will outline a proposed study of bars, pubs, and clubs which are characterized by high levels of alcohol consumption and the gender dynamics that exists within them. In particular, the ways these settings and alcohol culture seem to heighten adherence to hegemonic masculinity and emphasized femininity will be explored. This ethnography will be conducted by observing public drinking establishments as well as using data from semi-structured interviews with bar patrons in Central Edmonton, Alberta. Previous literature highlights the way social conditions regarding gender relations have influenced dynamics in public drinking establishments historically. In particular, women have always had less social permission to drink and participate in this culture than men. Current literature demonstrates that social pressures informed by gender are still influential of such spaces, often in a negative way. This study will focus on subjective experiences of drinking culture in order to understand the pressures, risks, and benefits that exist first-hand.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
