Drinking Boston: A History of the City and Its Spirits

by Stephanie Schorow

From the revolutionary camaraderie of the Colonial taverns to the saloons of the turn of the century; from Prohibition--a period rife with class politics, social reform, and opportunism--to a trail of nightclub neon so vast, it was called the "Conga Belt," Drinking Boston is a tribute to the fascinating role alcohol has played throughout the city's history.
