The intertwined histories of booze and medicine, from
internationally-renowned cocktail expert Camper English. Alcohol
and medicine have an inextricably intertwined history, with
innovations in each altering the path of the other. The story
stretches back to the ancient world, when beer and wine were used
to provide nutrition, hydration, and act as solvents for healing
botanicals.Over time, alchemists distilled elixirs designed to cure
all diseases, monastic apothecaries developed mystical botanical
liqueurs, travelling physicians concocted dubious intoxicating
nostrums, and the drinks we're familiar with today began to take
form. In turn, scientists studied fermentation and formed the germ
theory of disease, and developed an understanding of elemental
gasses and anaesthetics. Modern cocktails like the Gimlet, Gin
&,amp, Tonic, and Old Fashioned were born as delicious remedies
for diseases and discomforts.In To Cure All Ills, cocktail expert
Camper English reveals how and why the contents of our medicine and
liquor cabinets were, until surprisingly recently, one and the
same.
