This 'irreverent encyclopaedia' considers alcoholic beverages from every angle. We learn how they affect the body and how they are made. We learn the history of boozing and we learn about the various cultures. We learn about drunkeness and drunks and about alcohol and the law and famous drinkers. A huge compenium of facts and some very funny asides.
Chatty, witty and informative.

"The Boys' Book of Survival" by Guy Campbell
This is part of the series The Boys' Book, the Girls' book, Mum's book etc
It contains a mixture of advice from serious (How to Light a Fire, How to Wade through Water) to facetious (How to Survive a Family Christmas, How to Survive your Teachers). The tone throughout is mildly amusing as are the pictures.
Not quite as exciting as the Shackleton survival story I read just before!!!
