Synopsis

A collection of quotes on drinking from more than one hundred of the greatest thinkers (or drinkers) in history, sure to entertain, inspire, or enlighten.

US President Herbert Hoover called the cocktail hour "the pause between the errors and trials of the day and the hopes of the night." It's a period for relaxation, reflection, and, of course, socializing. Some of our greatest minds have observed the cocktail hour, enjoying a good, stiff drink and the stimulation, amusement, and insight it can offer.

In Cocktail Hour: A Mixer of Quips and Quotations, Jess Brallier and Sally Chabert mix together quotations from more than one hundred luminaries. Sip the wit and wisdom instilled in these pages from the likes of Tallulah Bankhead, Winston S. Churchill, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fran Lebowitz, Dorothy Parker, George Bernard Shaw, Tom Waits, Tennessee Williams, and Gore Vidal.

With this book, you'll find the ultimate literary accompaniment for those who enjoy a proper drink, a charming companion, and delightful banter. Bottoms up!
