The most lucid heavy weight drinking companion

A truly stimulating compendium that expresses with comedy and pathos all the romanticism found in the tempestuous marriage of drinking and writers. Containing a gamut of quotes, poems and passages from novels, all detailed with the highs and lows of forays into the realm of intemperance, this is a must for anyone who enjoys the associate pursuits of drinking and literature.
