Just received a review copy from _Choice_ of a new book by the well-known
social historian John Burnett. It is _Liquid Pleasures: A Social History
of Drinks in Modern Britain_ (Routledge, 1999). Price, $75! This being
exam week, I have got little further than the table of contents. After
chapters on water, milk, tea, coffee, and soft drinks, there are three on
alcoholic beverages: beer, wine, spirits. The bibliography seems a bit
eccentric. For instance, there is nothing by David W. Gutzke, not his
bibliographical volume, not his monographic book, and not any of his articles.
