Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis Hardcover

"Kingsley Amis's drink writing is better than anybody else's, ever..."
— Esquire

Kingsley Amis, one of the great masters of comic prose, had no subject closer to his heart than the art and practice of drinking.

Everyday Drinking brings together the best of his writing on this beloved topic, combining three of his works:

• Kingsley Amis in Drink
• Everyday Drinking
• How's Your Glass?

What You’ll Find Inside:

• A full shelf of Amis's riotous and erudite thoughts on the drinking arts.
• A series of well-tested recipes, including a cocktail called the Lucky Jim.
• Amis's musings on:
  • The Hangover
  • The Boozing Man's Diet
  • The Mean Sod's Guide
  • How Not to Get Drunk (presumably speculative).
• Fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol from around the world.

Mixing practical know-how with hilarious opinions, this book serves up a delightful cocktail of wry humour and distilled knowledge, all delivered by one of our great gimlet wits.

With an introduction by Christopher Hitchens.
