About the book

A Short History of Drunkenness by Mark Forsyth is a non-fiction book. 1 bestselling author of The Etymologicon Almost 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?
