Bridget's feedback:

"You move through each theory with a good sense of pacing and organization. The style of the writing and attention to structure and signposting make this discussion lucid and controlled, allowing the reader to follow the ideas easily. A number of odd diction choices and/or errors (e.g., dropped words), however, make the overall reading experience a bit bumpy; use a thorough proofread to ensure your overall presentation is of final draft quality. A similar task will be in cleaning up some formatting issues (bottom of page 2) and checking your style guide on capitalization of theories and similar. Specific claims like "a trait solely" (second sentence, emphasis mine) are best backed up with a source, especially, in this case, because it forms the premise of the discussion. Finally, I recommend revising the opening (general advice is to avoid "since the dawn of time"-type hooks); consider focusing the broad initial statement as a lead-in to the next sentence, which narrows the point culturally/geographically (e.g., "Alcohol has long played a role in cultures around the world, but it appears that...", with "around the world," or similar, setting up the point about the U.S.)."
