Mark Forsyth’s A Short History of Drunkenness is a light-hearted tour. Mr. Forsyth, a British journalist and blogger, takes his readers on a fast and furious ride, often deviating from the perpendicular to the horizontal, sallying from Sumerian and Egyptian drinking then on and on.
...a brisk, witty, and roughly chronological précis on drinking cultures.
...an entertaining jaunt through intoxication... with equal parts enlightening data and delightful color commentary.
