Hi,
I am an economic historian looking at the organization and quanitites of
beer and spirits production/consumption in late nineteenth Canada.
The most interesting alcohol-related reading I've done lately, apart from
Cheryl Warsh's book already mentioned on the list, is the passage from
Inga Clendinnen's _The Aztecs_.
