"America's founding generation drank a staggering amount of alcohol by today's standards. It influenced their politics, built and sustained their relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society, nor covertly consumed in private spaces-it was integral to American life. In Cocked and Boozy-two of Benjamin Franklin's two hundred terms for drunkenness-public historian Brooke Barbier examines the role that alcohol played in spurring, binding, and winning the American Revolution and how it shaped the nascent United States. Every chapter concludes with an eighteenth-century cocktail recipe adapted for modern tastes, so readers can participate in their own historic tippling"-- Provided by publisher.
