Eighteenth-century Americans consumed a staggering amount of alcohol compared to us today. Drink influenced their politics, built and sustained their relationships, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society, nor covertly consumed in private spaces—it was integral to American life. When the colonists rebelled against the British Empire, this culture of drink and taverns helped foster revolution.Copies of Barbier's latest book, Cocked and Boozy: An Intoxicating History of the American Revolution, will be available for purchase and signing.$10 members, $15 nonmembers https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/5b9b5a80-9703-11f1-897f-eff8c8b00a4f-rimg-w1013-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg Brooke Barbier is a public historian who received her PhD in American history from Boston College.
