Reviews
"By the conclusion of this brilliant example of comparative archaelogical study, Smith has succeeded in communicating how booze is a "prism" through which readers can reexamine complicated social interactions between individuals and groups."

"Archaeologists finally have the opportunity (and pretext) for uniting their two great passions: digging and drinking. A thoroughly researched well-written and wide-ranging primer on its titular subject, and I urge anyone pursuing alcohol studies in archaeology (or faced with an assemblage of broken bottles to interpret) to save themselves considerable time by placing it at the top of their list. A top-notch volume, now go pick up a copy of this book, grab a drink, and happy reading."
