Paperback. Condition: New. Wherever and whenever people have been found talking, they have been found drinking: an age-old pastime with an equally storied history. Alcohol and civilization have developed in close quarters, sometimes supporting each other and sometimes getting in each other's way. The School of Sophisticated Drinking, which began as an ongoing series of lectures at Berlin's legendary Victoria Bar in 2003, traces the deep-seated lineage of drinking in the social, political, and even scientific developments of our culture. Appealing to both expert drinkers and novice barflies, each chapter delves into the sociopolitical significance of and technological innovations behind a familiar wine or spirit--brandy, vodka, whisky, rum, gin, tequila, and champagne--and shares plenty of tales of adventure, from the glamour of Hollywood and Broadway, to the tormented worlds of well-known writers, to the outbreak of wars and the unending struggle for economic and military power. The reader's thirst for knowledge can be further quenched by trying any or all of the enticing cocktail recipes gathered at the end of the book.

First Edition
Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. 250 S. Das Buch ist in gutem Zustand, nur geringe Gebrauchs-, Alters- oder Lagerungsspuren. Gebundenes Buch. -----Inhalt:. Welche Spirituose kurvte im Glas von Willy Brandt und was trug diese zur Entspannung zwischen Ost und West bei? Warum gefährdete ein katholischer Geheimbund die Brandy-Produktion? Was brachte Ernest Hemingway zum US-Geheimdienst und Bacardi vor Gericht? Jede Machtverschiebung, jeder Krieg, jede technische Neuerung prägte auch Aussehen und Geschmack der Brände. Neue Absatzmärkte wurden geschaffen, alte brachen ein, exotische Zutaten wurden entdeckt, Weinberge und Industrien gingen in Flammen auf und entstanden neu, Alkoholsteuern machten manchen Krieg erst möglich, finanzierten aber auch Schulen und Eisenbahnen. »Die Schule der Trunkenheit« folgt den verschlungenen Pfaden der Spirituosen durch die Wirren der letzten Jahrhunderte. Heimat und Wiege der »Schule der Trunkenheit« ist die mehrfach ausgezeichnete Victoria Bar (u. a. auf der Independent-Liste der 50 besten Bars der Welt). 2001 eröffnete sie in der Potsdamer Straße und bietet seither einen Hort für Trinkkultur und -sitte.
