The life of a scholar is stressful. The best way to muddle through is with a stiff drink.
Balancing teaching, research, and service more than merits a cocktail at the end of a long day. So, sit back, relax, and infuse some intoxicating humor into old-fashioned academia. A humorous handbook for surviving life in higher education, The Faculty Lounge: A Cocktail Guide for Academics provides deserving scholars with a wide range of academic-themed drink recipes. Philipp Stelzel shares more than 50 recipes for all palates, including The Dissertation Committee (rum), The Faculty Meeting (rye), The Presidential Platitude (gin), and more.
Offering cocktails for every academic occasion along with spirited, amusing commentary, The Faculty Lounge is the perfect gift for graduate students, tenure-track professors, and disillusioned administrators.

Philipp Stelzel is author of History after Hitler: A Transatlantic Enterprise and Associate Professor of History at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
Review :
It's a fun read, and the "experimential learing" component of the book – you know, trying out the drinks – is a much-deserved recompense for those chairs that partake.
(Chronicle of Higher Ed) Perhaps the most entertaining, humorous bar book in a long time.
