Along with a series of well-tested recipes (including a cocktail called the Lucky Jim) the book includes Amis’s musings on The Hangover, The Boozing Man’s Diet, What to Drink with What, and (presumably as a matter of speculation) How Not to Get Drunk—all leavened with fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol all over the world. Mixing practical know-how and hilarious opinionation, this is a delightful cocktail of wry humor and distilled knowledge, served by one of our great gimlet wits.</div></div>]]> 13078 3.74 3145 477 2008 4 0 false Thu Feb 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 23:59:20 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 15:48:08 -0800 2009 On Drink, How's Your Glass (a quiz book), and Every Day Drinking (a title that boy Martin found clever if not hilarious, and which remains a source of confusion here on GoodReads [as it's apparently merged with this here colle...more...]]>
