Just a review from Book News, couldn't find a full section of this book online. Need to check out before I can determine if it's going to be valuable or not for my research. It does however list in chapter 2 that it will be about the history of alcohol and sports. Hoping to find some info there that I can cite or check out the books that he cited.
