'An affectionate collection of stories, journalism and verse by Aussie writers who celebrate and explore our obsession with drink.
'Drinking has always been an integral and cherished part of our Aussie culture. Grog played a huge role in our early colonial history and nothing has changed that much in the two hundred years since.
'It's a humorous, thought-provoking collection of works by the greatest Aussie writers on the subject, our best short story writers like Henry Lawson, Kenneth Cook and Gavin Casey and our funniest humourists; Lennie Lower, CJ Dennis, Marcus Clarke and The Sandman. It's a history and celebration of the Australian national character.' (Publication summary)
