Evolutionary Psychology Editorial Review
"Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization" by Edward Slingerland is a captivating exploration of how alcohol has influenced human society. The author has delved into disparate fields of knowledge, offering readers an excellent understanding of the history, culture, and booze. Slingerland also makes a persuasive case for the virtues of alcohol Consumption, showing how it helps people bond, access less rational aspects of the mind and reduces barriers across different peoples. Additionally, alcohol has been able to induce trance, which was essential to human development throughout time as it encouraged creativity. The book presents some surprising insights into the effects of alcohol and how it has shaped our diverse cultures, but it can at times read like an academic work, which may not appeal to everyone.
