I wasn't expecting much from such a seemingly trivial subject and was pleasantly surprised. It flows smoothly, is refreshing and I savoured it till the last drop.

Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (17)A spirited look at the history of alcohol, from the dawn of civilization to the modern day Alcohol is a fundamental part of Western culture. We have been drinking as long as we have been human, and for better or worse, alcohol has shaped our civilization. Drink investigates the history of this Jekyll and Hyde of fluids, tracing mankind's love/hate relationship with alcohol from ancient Egypt to the present day.
