Book Description
Hot Toddy takes place around the stunning mellow beaches of Santa Barbara, California. Maria Suarez, sixteen, loves her single, successful lawyer mother and yet, like so many teenagers, has already fallen into the trap of anorexia-bulimia while maintaining only satisfactory grades. She winds up dating the blond, congenial hunk Bradley Williams after meeting him and his brother Andy on the beach, when her sex drive suddenly becomes livid, passionate, and time-consuming. Several rendezvous, smoothies, and make out sessions later, her inability to give Brad her all apropos of what she is sexually inclined to do, though, enrages him and tempts him to date her school rival instead, who has no qualms about giving everything on the very first date! To the Latina schoolgirl's horror, the sensual, seductive, and viciously jealous vixen Jessica Scotch erects a fighting front against gentle Maria, wherewith strong words lead to gang rape, criminal violence, and suicide.

Finalist, Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Award for Best New Book on Drinks Culture, History, or Spirits “An impassioned case against a senseless system . . . Come for the cocktail recipes, stay for the call to arms.” —Clay Risen, author of American Whiskey, Bourbon, and Rye “A potent, thought-provoking mixture of fun and ‘what the hell’ awareness.” —Lew Bryson, author of Whiskey Master Class Across this nation, in breweries, liquor stores, bars, and even our own homes, we’re being stripped of our most basic boozy rights. Thanks to Prohibition and its 100-year hangover, some of the most outdated, bizarre, and laughably loony laws still on the books today center around alcohol and how we drink it. In New Mexico, $1 margaritas are illegal. In Utah, cocktails must be mixed behind a barrier called the “Zion curtain.” And forget about happy hour in Massachusetts—the state banned it in 1984. But we don’t have to stand down and dry up—it’s time to take to liquid protest. Created by the nation’s leading alcohol policy expert, Give Me Liberty and Give Me a Drink! combines the thirst-inducing pleasure of trivia with 65 recipes for classic and innovative cocktails. So arm yourself with a mezcal-based One Pint, Two Pint, inspired by Vermont’s ban on beer pitchers, or The Boiling Point, a beer cocktail that is highly illegal in Virginia, and get ready to drink your way to a revolution on the rocks.
