I've read a hand full of other books about the history of booze and drinking, so there were a lot of familiar broad themes and stories here.  But I had no idea how many super important women had not been mentioned in any of thes other books. It was really interesting to go through and hear all of their stories. Would recommend!

A thorough, funny, and thoughtful collection of stories, histories, and legends surrounding women and alcohol. I appreciated O'Meara's efforts to include women from all over the globe - not just Eurocentric perspectives. Don't skip the footnotes, either!
