The Lush Life

Description

There are many different ways to tell a life story. Gregg Shilliday decided to concentrate on the one thing he knows a lot about — booze. He celebrates the people, places and infinite bottles of a life well-lubricated.

Of course, things are changing now with coffee shops instead of speakeasies and mocktinis instead of doubled booze in a V glass. But forget the nanny-state warnings about health and safe places. That’s a different book. Drinking stories are about fun and, after a glass or two, some embellishment. Sitting down for a drink, in moderation, is an opportunity for comradeship, flirtation and even inspiration. The following stories are episodes of Shilliday’s lush life that he can recall, with varying degrees of verisimilitude.
