Everyday Drinking is enormously enjoyable, perhaps inevitably, as it combines the author's skill as a comic writer with a subject for which he has great enthusiasm. The chapter devoted to the hangover justifies the purchase in itself.
It must be said that in places it is obviously a product of its context (1970s Britain) which makes some of the advice seem quaint and one or two remarks out of step with contemporary (PC) values.
But if you enjoy drinking and the conviviality associated with it, then you almost certainly have a good sense of humor and will love it. Get more detail about Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis.
