This book rocks. It tells you everything you need to know about booze and it's totally hilarious. There's even a 'nutrition' guide, insane blue laws and a great story about JFK boozing it up in the oval office. I'm giving it to all my friends this Christmas.

100 Proof celebrates the joy of drinking. I work in a liquor store in PA, where customers bombard me with questions about wine and spirits everyday. This book taught me a few things that I never knew. 100 Proof is filled with fun facts from where the Star Spangled Banner was really derived from to what Christian Slater's BAC was when he was arrested. I found this book very informational and extremely entertaining at the same time. My attention was turned to this book from the magazine Maxim, and I thought, well, if it's in Maxim, it must be good. I'm extremely happy with my purchase with this book, and with Amazon.com, I didn't need to make a trip to the store looking through aisles to find it. I definately would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys having just a drink after dinner to someone that parties hard all night long.


A MUST READ!

An absolutely delightful book to read. The writing is witty, not mention full of historical facts that I had no idea of till I read this book.


Awesome tips for drunks

This book has an amazing knack for being both informative and hysterical. I loved all the factoids about drinking history (in the middle ages, people used Brandy as medicine), the tips for drunks (how to turn any activity into a drinking game), the legal cases, (one judge forced a drunk driver to move within walking distance of his favorite bar), not to mention the amazing quotes from drinkers like Christian Slater., Hemmingway, and Homer Simpson.

It'll be my Christmas present to every friend who's not sober.

Great illustrations too!
