The Modern Drunkard

Last night's book party for Modern Drunkard "handbook for drinking" was at the East Village near-dive Scenic. Given the subject matter, it brought in exactly the sort of crowd you'd expect (we were there, natch). Between the Busches and some peach vodka concoction, we think that fun was had by most everyone, although we'll have to check more photos to be sure. The book itself, a spinoff of the popular website, has lots of advice, from knowing your bartender to planning your own lost weekend. We especially love the "Excuses to Get Loaded" -- one for every day of the year. To help you plan ahead, tomorrow is Warlock Day: "The first stanger you meet on this day dressed entirely in black will be a warlock." Suggested drink? Demon Rum.

In addition to the Modern Drunkard book, "On The House: The Bizarre Killing of Michael Malloy" recently hit the book stores. It's the true story of a Depression-era drunkard who thwarted numerous attempts on his life. All except the last one, of course. Check out the author's web site at http://www.simon-read.com.

The Oakland Tribune called it a "firecracker of a thriller." Another reviewer noted that Malloy "had more lives than a Hindu cat. I've never read a true-crime book like it. Neither have you." The Bronx district attorney who prosecuted the case back-in-the-day concluded it was "the most grotesque chain of events in New York criminal history."

It's grisly. It's gritty. It's guzzly. It's a cult classic in the making.

You get the picture... Cheers.
