What. A fun book. Stories history literature all rolled into one.

As much "Hey look! I'm writing a book about hangovers and destroying my life!" as a book that informs you of hangovers and their remedy. I found most of the stories interesting but not compelling and found myself thinking this guy is a Peter Pan and needs to get to the point. Once at the point, he immediately says he's adding in 2-3 more ingredients and still working on it. Whatevs

I'm leaving this un-starred because the writing is good, but I just don't care. I really don't.

Definitely better than I thought it would be. The chapter about bar hopping in England was a low point, but otherwise I enjoyed following along with his story and learning about his discoveries. 3.5/5

Dropped 38% of the way. Not inspiring
