Campbell argues that the regulation of the environment of the classic beer parlour, rather than being an example of social control, is best understood as moral regulation and part of a process of normalization.
Not so much state regulation, but the self-regulation of beer parlors is what interests Campbell (Capilano College). He explains how after the short Canadian prohibition, beer parlors replaced the earlier all-male saloons, and immediately became arenas for contention about gender, class, appearance, behavior, and other matters. His study originated as a Ph.D. dissertation for Simon Fraser University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Robert Campbell hit dead centre in the cuspidor with this fine book about regulating public drinking in Vancouver during the early years of the beer parlours, 1925 to 1954. His book aided me in my own research of the "wet" side of social history by providing an intelligent and entertaining look behind Vancouver's varied 'refreshment rooms.' Campbell's book help sort out the wacky liquor laws of post-prohibition British Columbia while using Vancouver's hotel-bars (beer parlours) as examples. Every author that researches and writes about this aspect of British Columbia's social history owes a debt to Robert A. Campbell's fine books, and this is one of them.
