The Perfect Tonic

The Remarkable Medicinal History of Beer, Wine, Spirits and Cocktails

Camper English
Exploring how civilizations through time used fermented and distilled beverages for purposes ranging from warding off the Bubonic Plague (gin) to ridding the body of internal parasites (Vermouth) or as a monk-approved remedy for colds (Buckfast), Camper English reveals how and why the contents of our medicine and liquor cabinets were, until surprisingly recently, one and the same.
