Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol by Mallory O'Meara

adventurous funny hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

this was the most fun i've had reading a nonfiction book in the longest time! i adore the way this was written - it definitely won't be for everyone, especially those who expect more "proper" historical texts. but as someone who doesn't read too many heavy historical nonfiction books, the casual tone that this book was written in, along with the fascinating facts about the history of women and their influence in the alcohol industry, made this fun, digestible, easy to follow along, and very interesting! the author was able to tell it in a way that almost felt like you were two girlfriends catching up on centuries of history. and the women? iconic. women quite literally run the world.
