BOTTOMS UP! A Cocktail of Liquid Lore

From the "sun's over yardarm" to being "three sheets to the wind," Bottoms Up! is a sandbar-hopping voyage through the centuries of toasts, quotes, slogans and sayings that mark drinking's age-old relationship with sailors and the sea. Robert McKenna has spent years collecting hundreds of nautical-related drinking phrases and utterances. Here he distills them, stirs them with fun facts, and offers them up with amusing anecdotes to celebrate in high style this grandest of all maritime traditions. Hardcover, 112 pages.
