Publisher's Synopsis
Ladies and gentlemen, hoist your glasses high for The Good of Alcohol by Yirmyah Fox, a book that boots the dreary self help garbage out the door and pours a stiff, spirited salute to the wonders of booze! Toss aside the sanctimonious twaddle begging you to ditch the drink, this is a loud and proud revelry of alcohol's bright side, a rip roaring trek through its history, science, and pure fun that'll have you smiling wide and damn glad you're not choking down some miserable detox swill. If you've ever kicked back with a cold brew, swirled a rich wine, or toasted with a slug of the good stuff, this book's your jam, a rowdy stand for anyone sick of the guilt game and ready to cheer the upside of liquor.
Imagine 17 punchy chapters, each loaded with grit and fire, slung with the swagger of a barkeep on a packed night. Fox launches with Purity in a Glass, diving deep into how ancient Sumerians spun murky water into life saving beer, a gritty tale with a happy kick. Then From Ale to Ambrosia hauls you through time, showing how those rough drafts became the top shelf sips we love today, no sermonizing claptrap in sight. This book turns the usual gloom on its head, spotlighting alcohol's wins with zero pious bull.
