About the Book

Armed with cutting wit and a degenerate world view, "How To Booze" provides frank, humorous musings on the contemporary art of drinking and the reasons we do it. You may find yourself rendezvousing with your ex-or trying to ignore the fact that the person you are bringing back to your apartment is almost fantastically unattractive. You may be making an embarrassment of yourself at your high school reunion-or trying to impress your weirdo in-laws. Or maybe you just want that last taste before heading to an AA meeting. Whatever the situation, Altier and Kaye have the perfect cocktail for temporary self-improvement. Along with the delicious and easy-to-prepare recipes and plenty of useful information on mixing drinks, they offer amusingly accurate insights about our destructive, flawed, beautiful selves, peeling back the psychological layers to discover why we're really drinking in the first place.

About the Author :
Jordan Kaye is a writer and lawyer with a life passion for moderate boozing. He lives with his wife, Jocelyn; their two children, Ellis and Gideon; and a sprawling collection of bottles and barware in Brooklyn, New York.

Review :
"If you're not sure how to booze, this book will lead the way. If you think that you do know how to booze, it will show you where you've been going wrong. A delightful read with an opinion all its own, along with style, wisdom, and lots of sarcasm." -- gaz regan, co-host of ardentspirits.com and author of The Joy of Mixology "[A] sharp guide to drinks for every conceivable occasion...buoyed by wit as bracing as a gin martini ...Rather than devolving into sheer novelty, misogyny or mean-spiritedness, the authors deftly walk the line... between the educational and the irreverent, making for a terrifically entertaining guide to informed imbibing." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Prepare to make delicious drinks and then spurt them out your nose all over your kitchen laughing at this naughty cocktail and awkward-social-situation survival guide...[E]ncourages cocktail consumption and mischief!" -- Drink Me magazine "[E]ntertaining...like getting a talking-to from a bartender who's seen it all ... The drinks advice is remarkably good, from empowering explanations of cocktail fundamentals to variations on classics that are well worth trying." -- Booklist "[O]ne part bar guide, two parts liquor love sonnet...the book serves up classic cocktails and delightfully witty reasons to drink them." -- Associated Press
