The main point of this cheerful mixture of polemic and cultural history is that Americans are both bad drunks and bad teetotalers. London Sunday Times journalist Barr (Wine Snobbery, a social history of drink in Great Britain) makes entertaining work of tracing how alcohol has been intertwined with American history. Ever since European immigrants got Native Americans drunk to fleece them of their land and goods, booze has been a lubricant of American expansion and growth. ~ Publishers Weekly
