A Short History of Drunkenness: How, Why, Where, and When Humankind Has Gotten Merry from the Stone Age to the Present - Hardcover
World-traveling and time-traveling throughout the past 10,000 years of human history, this book is the history nerd's dream bar-hop. When you imbibe of that tantalizing brew, glass of wine, or tequila shot, you are partaking in an age-old tradition: humans throughout many civilizations and cultures, on every continent, have enjoyed getting sloshed. But in every place, drunkenness is a little different, filling unique social, political, or religious functions. Whether the purview of kings or priests or the pleasure of peasants, whether a nightcap or battle-cry or part of a hearty breakfast, alcohol has been along for the ride, through the creation and collapse of whole human civilizations. A playful, entertaining, revealing, boozy history of the world.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
