The Everyday Drinking
The Distilled Kingsley Amis
by Kingsley Amis
Review this book!
EVERYDAY DRINKING collects three out-of-print essay collections--ON DRINK, EVERYDAY DRINKING, and HOW'S YOUR GLASS?--by renowned novelist, wag, and drunk, Kingsley Amis into one glorious volume. How does Amis suggest one battle a hang-over? With a flight in a prop plane, or a reading of PARADISE LOST--both with the theory that you must get worse before you get better. With a wickedly funny introduction by Christopher Hitchens, EVERDAY DRINKING is perhaps the greatest ode to alcohol and alcoholism every published.

Publisher Notes
A celebratory volume of writings by the late author of
Media Reviews
"Before he was knighted in 1990, Amis published three books about the judicious but enthusiastic consumption of alcohol....Long out of print, these volumes have finally been gathered together and reissued under a single cover, topped off with a fizzy introduction by Christopher Hitchens. These books are so delicious they impart a kind of contact high; they make you feel as if you've just had the first sip of the planet's coldest, driest martini."
