informative inspiring reflective medium-paced
I love whiskey, and it was the first kind of alcohol I ever really liked. Immediately, I was told I drink like an old man. This book gave me so much validation on liking this "masculine" drink - turns out an Old Fashioned was most women's drink of choice post-prohibition! Mallory does an excellent job of unearthing and celebrating all the ways that women truly make up the worldly and winding history of alcohol. Go make a cocktail and read this book!

funny hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced
This was a fascinating read! I received an early copy from the publisher and urge others to read this. 

While it is dense with information, it’s thoughtful, funny, and informative. I learned so much and enjoyed the structure and content. 

I will say it’s probably best enjoyed in small chunks because it is so heavy on info and can be enraging, but overall I had a great time reading 

Cheers, Mallory!
