Do check out these books:
a) "Bourbon Empire"
b) "Empire of Booze".
and, perhaps most importantly of all:
c) "The Modern Drunkard Handbook"*.
Do you have any booze-ridden books that you feel should be added, in order to make the definitive list of books that every hoocher should have?
* And why not take out a subscription to the superb depositary of knowledge thai is "The Modern Drunkard Magazine"?

Re: Books for Boozers
Anything Hemingway is wild...especially 'A Movable Feast'. Just a whole book on him getting drunk in Parisian cafes.
I'll third the Kingsley Amis vote..'On Drink' is a book every real drinker should give a go.
I didn't bother with Thomson for ages after not really loving 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'....however i recently fuckin loved 'The Rum Diary' so what do i know?
Also Beer Gods fuckin bless Henry Charles Bukowski....
No so much drinking related but I also love all the 'Song of Ice and Fire' series....I AM ROBERT BARATHEON.

Re: Books for Boozers
The onion Eaters by JP DUnleavy is a masterpiece in that when undrunk one feels drunk reading it. Also great for his use of many archaic bottle sizes and unlikely monsters

Vodka Politics: Alcohol, Autocracy and the Secret History of the Russian State

I haven't bought it yet, I''m still reading Bulgakov and a couple of biographies. Once I finish one of these, I might pick this up.

The Belcher by Luke Schmaltz.
A thoroughly enjoyable romp through Denver's underbelly. Part pulp and part kick in the nuts call to action for every wannabe anti-hero out there.

Re: Books for Boozers
This just in. Can't wait to try it out. And it's the same author from "The Hungoevr Cookbook" bwahahaha. Didn't realize it was all misspelled when I ordered it. The back says "A witty and entertaining culinary companion for GUI's (gastronomes under the influence)".
Okole maluna!

Re: Books for Boozers
My less than humble suggestions would be;
The Greatest Beer Run Ever, by Chick Donohue
Woody, Cisco, and Me, by Jim Longhi
Tales From The Red Lion, edited by John Weagly and Andrea Dubnick
Cap'n Fatso, by Daniel Gallery
The Last Detail, by Darryl Ponicsan
The Great Green, by Calvin Kentfield
John Barleycorn, by Jack London
And a bunch more that I can't think of right now, because it's the end of another 16 hour day at sea, and a ship bound for China, and I'm enjoying my end of day Whiskey.
