FIRST CHAPTER FRIDAY

A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 6 GLASSES by Tom Standage

In addition to reading the first chapter titled “A Stone Aged Brew”, I also read the Introduction “Vital Fluids.”

Verdict – 🤓

The six glasses covered in the book include three with alcohol and three with caffeine. This read is going to place a liquid lens over my understanding of world history and I’m here for it.
