Customer Reviews

seriously killer

This book rocks. It tells you everything you need to know about booze and it's totally hilarious. There's even a 'nutrition' guide, insane blue laws and a great story about JFK boozing it up in the oval office. I'm giving it to all my friends this Christmas.

A MUST READ!

This book is hysterical and full of juicy tidbits of drinking lore. Every drunk should own it!

Recommended reading!

An absolutely delightful book to read. The writing is witty, not mention full of historical facts that I had no idea of till I read this book.

Awesome tips for drunks

This book has an amazing knack for being both informative and hysterical. I loved all the factoids about drinking history (in the middle ages, people used Brandy as medicine), the tips for drunks (how to turn any activity into a drinking game), the legal cases, (one judge forced a drunk driver to move within walking distance of his favorite bar), not to mention the amazing quotes from drinkers like Christian Slater., Hemmingway, and Homer Simpson. It'll be my Christmas present to every friend who's not sober.Great illustrations too!
