Review of "The wet and the dry" by Lawrence Osborne

In Mr. Osborne's book, one is transported to his world of travel and imbibing on wonderful alcohol.  The author has a cocky air about him and can come across as very contriving.  He has a set happy hour time of 6:10 and can often run into danger just trying to satisfy this goal.
  A lot of feeling is put into this book and you almost feel as you know the author personally, some stories are quite shocking, such as when he awoke in his hotel room with no recollection of how he got there. Some may say he is indeed a full blown alcoholic, yet he seems to be in control the majority of the time. Great read that dips into some of the history of alcohol and different countries as well.  All in all, a catchy and interesting read for someone who is a drinker.
