- Synopsis
- &“An impassioned case against a senseless system . . . Come for the cocktail recipes, stay for the call to arms.&” —Clay Risen, author of American Whiskey, Bourbon, and Rye &“A potent, thought-provoking mixture of fun and &‘what the hell&’ awareness.&” —Lew Bryson, author of Whiskey Master Class Across this nation, in breweries, liquor stores, bars, and even our own homes, we&’re being stripped of our most basic boozy rights. Thanks to Prohibition and its 100-year hangover, some of the most outdated, bizarre, and laughably loony laws still on the books today center around alcohol and how we drink it. In New Mexico, $1 margaritas are illegal. In Utah, cocktails must be mixed behind a barrier called the &“Zion curtain.&” And forget about happy hour in Massachusetts—the state banned it in 1984. But we don&’t have to stand down and dry up—it&’s time to take to liquid protest. Created by the nation&’s leading alcohol policy expert, Give Me Liberty and Give Me a Drink! combines the thirst-inducing pleasure of trivia with 65 recipes for classic and innovative cocktails. So arm yourself with a mezcal-based One Pint, Two Pint, inspired by Vermont&’s ban on beer pitchers, or The Boiling Point, a beer cocktail that is highly illegal in Virginia, and get ready to drink your way to a revolution on the rocks.
