Sydney Morning Herald: “Slingerland’s compelling arguments – anthropological, archaeological, literary and statistical – make Drunk as seductive as a pina colada on a beach in Tahiti.”

Pat Sheil, “How having a drink helped us toward art, society and civilisation,” Sydney Morning Herald, October 29, 2021.
