<p><b>THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANYONE WHO ENJOYS A TIPPLE . . . OR TWO . . . OR TEN! </b><br><br>Almost every culture on earth has drink, and where there''s drink there''s drunkenness.

Of the many possible reasons, why? </i></b><br><br>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 like the movies.<br><br><b>This is a history of the world at its inebriated best.</b><br><br>''This book is <b>a laugh riot</b>. I mean the way the author has presented it is <b>hilarious and to the point</b>'' Goodreads Reviewer <br><br>''Highly entertaining. <b>Cheers! Bo
