How to Drink: A Classical Guide to the Art of Imbibing

Is there an art to drinking alcohol? Can drinking ever be a virtue? Arguing that moderation, not abstinence, is the key to lasting sobriety, and that drinking can be a virtue if it is done with rules and limits, How to Drink will teach you how to manage your drinking, how to win friends at social gatherings, and how to give a proper toast. This complete work of famed Renaissance humanist and poet Vincent Obsopoeus has been completely translated from its original Latin text with additional notations on how Obsopoeus's past observations are still pertinent to today. Sparkling and intoxicating, this read is as worthwhile today as it was when it was first published in 1536.
