Kingsley Amis was a renowned master of comic prose, and his writing on the subject of drinking was particularly dear to him. His collection of essays titled "Everyday Drinking" brings together the finest examples of his work on the topic. In this comprehensive volume, Amis covers a wide range of subjects related to drinking, including "Kingsley Amis in Drink," "Everyday Drinking," and "How's Your Glass?"
The book offers a treasure trove of riotous and erudite thoughts on the drinking arts, covering everything from the history and culture of alcohol to practical tips and recipes. Amis' musings on topics such as "The Hangover," "The Boozing Man's Diet," "The Mean Sod's Guide," and (presumably as a matter of speculation) "How Not to Get Drunk" are interspersed with fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol across different parts of the world.
What sets "Everyday Drinking" apart is its blend of practical knowledge and hilarious opinionation. Amis combines his expertise in the subject with his witty and entertaining style, providing readers with a delightful cocktail of wry humor and distilled knowledge. The book is accompanied by an introduction by Christopher Hitchens, further enhancing its appeal.
Whether you're a seasoned drinker or a novice seeking to expand your knowledge and appreciation of alcohol, "Everyday Drinking" is a must-read. It will surely provide you with hours of enjoyment and inspiration as you embark on your own drinking adventures.
