More about the book

Exploring the complex relationship between alcohol and its classification as a drug, the narrative delves into the historical and cultural significance of alcoholic beverages. It contrasts the modern perception of alcohol with its ancient, mythological representation, particularly through the figure of Dionysius, the god of wine and festivity, surrounded by his wild entourage. This juxtaposition highlights the dual nature of alcohol as both a source of enjoyment and a potential source of chaos, reflecting on its enduring impact on society.
