"A fun look at some of the weirder booze-related laws, from
Colonial times to Prohibition-era relics. A rich source of trivia
and storytelling lore."
--Liquor.com
"You'll both laugh and wince. . . . It's a fun collection of
conversation starters and cocktail recipes."
--Virginia Living "Jarrett Dieterle is an engaging guide through
the crazy world of American liquor laws. But his book is more than
just a romp: It is an impassioned case against a senseless system
propped up by entrenched and anticonsumer scolds. Come for the
cocktail recipes, stay for the call to arms."
--Clay Risen, author of American Whiskey, Bourbon Rye "Stupid
booze laws, snappy cocktail recipes, and profiles in booze courage
make for a potent, thought-provoking mixture of fun and 'what the
hell?' awareness in this high-proof volume."
--Lew Bryson, author of Whiskey Master
