On Booze

"e;First you take a drink,"e; F. Scott Fitzgerald once noted, "e;then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you."e; Fitzgerald wrote alcohol into almost every one of his stories. On Booze gathers debutantes and dandies, rowdy jazz musicians, lost children and ragtime riff-raff into a newly compiled collection taken from The Crack-Up, and other works. On Booze portrays "e;The Jazz Age"e; as Fitzgerald experienced it: roaring, rambunctious, and lush - with quite a hangover.
