Krátky popis
A comic history of humankind's love affair with booze, from the
Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author of The Etymologicon'Haha! .
.. Highly suitable for Xmas!' - Margaret AtwoodAlmost every culture
on earth has drink, and where there's drink there's drunkenness.
But in every age and in every place drunkenness is a little bit
different.It can be religious, it can be sexual, it can be the duty
of kings or the relief of peasants. It can be an offering to the
ancestors, or a way of marking the end of a day's work. It can send
you to sleep, or send you into battle.A Short History of
Drunkenness traces humankind's love affair with booze from our
primate ancestors through to Prohibition, answering every possible
question along the way: What did people drink? How much? Who did
the drinking? Of the many possible reasons, why? On the way, learn
about the Neolithic Shamans, who drank to communicate with the
spirit world (no pun intended), marvel at how Greeks got giddy and
Romans got rat-arsed, and find out how bars in the Wild West were
never quite like in the movies. This is a history of the world at
its inebriated best.
