Finally, there’s a book that’s almost as much fun as having
a couple of drinks. Alcoholica Esoterica presents the
history and culture of booze as told by a writer with a
knack for distilling all the boring bits into the most
interesting facts and hilarious tales. It’s almost like
pulling up a stool next to the smartest and funniest guy in
the bar. Divided into chapters covering the basic booze
groups—including beer, wine, Champagne, whiskey, rum, gin,
vodka, and tequila—Alcoholica Esoterica charts the origin
and rise of each alcohol’s particular charms and influence.
Other sections chronicle "Great Moments in Hic-
story," "Great Country Drinking Songs," "10 Odd Laws,"
and "Mt. Lushmore, Parts I–V." Additionally, famous quotes
on the joys and sorrows of liquor offer useful shots of
advice and intoxicating whimsy.
