"I truly believe you need only two drinks books in your life: one that tells you about every drink you could possibly make, and one that tells you about what you would want to drink. The first is useful in the case that an honored guest asks for a Detroit Motor City or something (I live in fear of moments like this); the second, while narrower in scope, is infinitely more practical because everything in it is actually good.
Everyday Drinking has captured a permanent spot as my second-category book. This is of course subjective - I have a special soft spot for drinks that are awful-sounding and/or old-fashioned; you may not - but I really can't recommend this enough, because besides many excellent recipes, there are herein dozens of near-sociopathic tips for how to make, serve, economize on, and best enjoy drinks. You call this "enabling", I call a coherent philosophy of life. And it's written by a writer! It really does take a Booker Prize-winner to put to paper thoughts like "The first, indeed the only requirement of a diet is that it should lose you weight without reducing your alcoholic intake by the smallest degree." Cheers, I say. Hic! Ahem."
"Fizzy, delightful cocktail of Amis Sr's informed and opinionated views on drink. Makes one want to sample the distiller's art forthwith. My review of the book is at www.antiblurbs.blogspot.com"
"A delightful and hilarious collection of essays extolling the drinking arts for inebriates of every kind. Amis will make you a smarter lush and for those with more temperate natures you too will be intoxicated by his wit and alcoholic erudition."
"I loved the first half of this book. The recipes are interesting, the opinions quite firm, and the tone decidedly British. I share Amis' bias regarding single malt scotch but we disagree wildly on gin. The book IS repetitive (it's a collection of newspaper columns, for the most part, and a certain amount of repetition is forgivable in that context) and could have been edited to remove some of that. Worth a look, especially for the Anglophilic bibber."
