THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANYONE WHO ENJOYS A TIPPLE . . . OR TWO . . .
OR TEN! Almost every culture on earth has drink, and where there's
drink there's drunkenness. But in every age and in every place
drunkenness is a little bit different. Tracing humankind's love
affair with booze from our primate ancestors through to
Prohibition, it answers every possible question: What did people
drink? How much? Who did the drinking? Of the many possible
reasons, why? On the way, learn about the Neolithic Shamans, who
drank to communicate with the spirit world (no pun intended),
marvel at how Greeks got giddy and Romans got rat-arsed, and find
out how bars in the Wild West were never like the movies. This is a
history of the world at its inebriated best. 'This book is a laugh
riot. I mean the way the author has presented it is hilarious and
to the point' Goodreads Reviewer 'Highly entertaining. Cheers!
Bottoms up! Good health!' Goodreads Reviewer 'It can make a good
gift for someone with a sense of humour and appreciation for the
magical powers of alcohol' Goodreads Reviewer
