Book Description
Nearly every negative consequence associated with alcohol is the result of drinking too much. In today's culture, drinking to excess is glamorized as a fun, harmless, and required rite of passage. Particularly for college students, it's a social norm created by peer pressure emphasizing that you're not cool unless you drink--a lot. However, a dangerous learning curve exists that has the propensity to go from bad to worse if we don't consider what's at stake. If we can educate people to drink better and live healthier then all of those disastrous experiences go away. The Drinker's Manifesto is an honest, approachable conversation at eye-level with college-age novice drinkers, binge-drinkers, and non-drinkers about what a healthier relationship with alcohol looks like. Started by a group of friends sharing their stories about their experiences with alcohol, Better Drinking Culture (BDC) has grown into a social impact grassroots movement that is shifting our culture's relationship with alcohol in a healthier and more positive direction--a lifestyle free from pain, harm, and regret. Because hangovers suck. This book is an easily digestible, practical guide to mindful drinking and moderation. Divided into three main parts, it includes perspectives on how alcohol affects our health and relationships, teaches the basics about how to make informed choices about choosing to drink, and encourages personal accountability in taking care of ourselves, our loved ones, and where we live, work, and play. BDC believes that alcohol should be a choice--not an expectation. Regardless of where you are in your journey with alcohol, this is an invitation to anyone who reads it to put their health, safety, and well-being first. Should one choose to drink or be in the company of friends who do, The Drinker's Manifesto empowers people to make better decisions because life is too short to forget or regret what happened last night. The current generation has the influence to set a better example for the next one. No longer can we avoid the uncomfortable discourse that something needs to change about our drinking culture. The Drinker's Manifesto is that conversation--one that calls out the absurdity of a culture that glamorizes over-consumption and instead replaces it with ownership in answering for ourselves. For students, parents, universities, communities, public health, and the alcohol industry, The Drinker's Manifesto is a call to challenge our culture and inspire change.

Book Description
Based on the popular feature in the Saturday Wall Street Journal, How's Your Drink illuminates the culture of the cocktail. Cocktails are back after decades of decline, but the literature and lore of the classics has been missing. John F. Kennedy played nuclear brinksmanship with a gin and tonic in his hand. Teddy Roosevelt took the witness stand to testify that six mint juleps over the course of his presidency did not make him a drunk. Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Chandler both did their part to promote the gimlet. Fighting men mixed drinks with whatever liquor could be scavenged between barrages, raising glasses to celebrate victory and to ease the pain of defeat. Eric Felten tells all of these stories and many more, and also offers exhaustively researched cocktail recipes. How’s Your Drink is an essential addition to the literature of spirits and a fantastic holiday gift for husbands and fathers.

Book Description
You want a little adventure in your life. And why not? With thousands of breweries and distilleries in the United States, there are more choices than ever on tap and behind the bar. So many, that you’re a little bit intimidated. But throughout the course of a year you can learn to impress your friends by becoming a pub savant with The Year of Drinking Adventurously, a guide to getting out of your beverage comfort zone once a week for a year. Each of the fifty-two chapters features the story behind a unique beer, spirit, cocktail or wine, designed to broaden your drinking horizons. Some correspond with specific seasons or holidays, encouraging you to forget the million-dollar marketing-supported “conventional wisdom” and drink against the grain. It’s Cinco de Mayo? There’s much more to the celebration than lime-enhanced lager and shots of rotgut tequila. St. Patrick’s Day? Do you really want to be the 700th person of the evening to order a green-tinted brew and a shot of cheap whiskey? The Year of Drinking Adventurously takes the social imbiber on a journey into the exciting and unknown—one week at a time.
