The author details personal experiences in refining alcohols for industrial use and discusses the challenges and innovations encountered in marketing and improving the quality of these products. The book serves as both a historical account and a technical guide, intended for readers interested in the history of alcohol production, industrial chemistry, and the development of distillation technologies.

"An incisive analysis of how our drinking culture is influenced by the government, media and big business, by investigative journalist Guyon Espiner. Four years ago, investigative journalist Guyon Espiner gave up drinking alcohol. He had been a heavy yet controlled drinker since his teens abstaining three nights a week but making up for it the other four. One morning he woke up after a big night and decided he'd had enough and he quit no AA, no support groups. Not drinking has given Guyon a new perspective on our relationship with alcohol in Aotearoa, and a lot of it is disturbing.The Drinking Game investigates the alcohol industry: the power, politics and lobbying behind our most harmful drug. Weaving together personal experience, hard research and interviews, it examines why New Zealand has such a heavy drinking culture, the harm it causes and how our attitudes to alcohol are changing.This is a sobering look into how the way you drink is shaped not only by your individual choice, but also by government, media and big business."--Publisher's website.

"Picrate, pive, pinasse, picmuche, fuchsia, rouquin, rouginet, gros bleu, crassi... L'imagination des soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale, lorsqu'il s'agissait de nommer le vin, n'avait pas de limites. Car les poilus aimaient "le pinard d'un amour qui frise la passion". On l'assimilait volontiers, dans les journaux du front ou les chansons de circonstance, au sang du sacrifice, à la fécondité, voire au génie de la patrie. C'est cette histoire sensible et sensorielle qui est ici retracée: Blaise Cendrars se rasant au gros rouge par manque d'eau ; la hantise de perdre son quart, que l'on emporte partout avec soi même s'il étincelle au soleil et risque d'alerter l'ennemi; les pillages du printemps 1918, lorsqu'après le recul des Allemands on organise des festins au champagne dans les tranchées de la Marne... Les rations de vin et d'eau-de-vie, distribuées quotidiennement, étaient devenues, pour le commandement, un élément essentiel de l'effort de guerre. En 1918, on put affirmer que "le général pinard" avait été "l'un des vainqueurs de la guerre". Ces mêmes années de l'après-guerre virent l'apparition d'un nouveau fléau, le "vinisme". Parmi cette génération d'anciens combattants, combien furent marqués à jamais par l'alcoolisme, ce mal indispensable à qui voulait surmonter l'horreur de la bataille?"--Page 4 of cover.
