In 361 AD the Emperor Julian described the Teutonic northern European races as 'sons of malt'. Big drinkers they all were, but none so much as the English. As this book shows, the English have spent much of the last 2000 years semi-permanently drunk. Rich with fascinating detail and humorous anecdotes, it is a terrific read and an ideal 'alternative' history of English society.
