Very intersting read, but a bit dry and dragging in places.

If you are a history buff, and even if you aren't, this is a wonderful read which adds more background as to why great movements in history and social change occurred or succeeded.

Now, when I lift that glass of beer to my lips, I feel proud, knowing I'm helping to preserve civilization!

It's books like this that make history fun. An entertaining lesson in how six beverages (beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and Coca-Cola) had an impact on civilisation. As well as learning about these beverages, I also got a bit of a history lesson and learnt things that I didn't know before.
