Abstract
Article is exploring the phenomena of interactional ritual chains of everyday life. Primarily, focus is on social interaction and integration of an individual in Croatia. We are going to use the basic premises of micro-sociological analysis of which in the center of attention is the theory of Randal Collins, symbolic interactionism and phenomenology. According to mentioned aspects, the paper analyzes the usage of alcohol in Croatia, which is basically traditionally organized. The main premise of this work is that alcohol is one of the symbols of forming interaction ritual chain of everyday life. Alcohol by its own definition poses a great symbolic power and it is an inevitable factor of ritual chains of everyday life. Alcohol is a part of traditional values so it is almost impossible to exclude it from everyday life.
