So, I'm torn on this book. It was interesting to see the progression/regression of alcohol throughout history, but the narrative was written in a very "tongue in cheek" type of quippy humor that just wears on you. It's like the kind of writing you would use in a blog, but for an entire book. Would I recommend it? Maybe. If you were looking to have some neat-o facts next time you're at a party (did you know that Prohibition was not really about banning alcohol but instead banning the saloon aspect?) sure.

Thank you First To Read for letting me advance read this book in exchange for my honest review!
