Informazioni sul libro
Also covered are some of the more interesting studies conducted on alcohol including the responses of animals and plants to intoxicants. The connection between the geology of the location from which waters are drawn for the production of various brews and the types of ensuing beers are rationalised. Attitudes and idiosyncrasies of people from different cultures towards alcohol over the centuries are also examined. The metaphysical and other philosophical aspects linked to alcohol consumption are also mulled over. Due recognition is accorded to the often overlooked and unappreciated yeast cells that are instrumental in the production of alcohol and the fascinating fermentation process unravelled.
