Reviews for Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis

"""Kingsley Amis's drink writing is better than anybody else's, ever..."" * - Esquire * ""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."" * - The New York Times Daily Review * ""There has never been a more charming, erudite, eager, generous and devoted lover of drink - to judge by his writing - than Kingsley Amis."" * - The New York Times Sunday Book Review * ""His treatise on the hangover (both physical and metaphysical) is among his best known for a reason, and is required reading for the dipsomaniacs amongst us."" * - The Washington Times *"
