Rated A History of the World in 6 Glasses 8/10

This book probably goes along with those TV shows showing connections between everything. Likely the thesis was taken a bit too far to make a nice story...but it was a nice story.<br/><br/>Great anecdotes. Great history. Fun stories. Glad I read it. Happy to recommend it.
