"Compelling and fascinating... A must-read."
Andrew Jenkinson,
Sunday Times bestselling author of Why We Eat Too Much

It's a journey through time, exploring how alcohol has shaped our history, our celebrations and, for some, our struggles.

Whether curious about the history of your favourite drinks or looking for a deeper understanding of its role in human culture, Knowles presents a thoughtful examination of why alcohol remains humanity's favourite – and most enduring – drug.
