More compelling are the case studies from history and literature presented in "Acute Intoxication-Literary Reports." Grinspoon includes everything from Theophile de Gaultier's observations of "a multitude of bodiless heads like cherubims, with such comical expressions" to Alan Ginsburg's musings on the benefits of snibidish, all vigorously footnoted...
...multi-course feast. If you're the kind who rises early on Saturday mornings to watch "Style" with Elsa Klensch, you'll gorge yourself with celebrity sightings, feeling very in-the-know when you recognize Sonia Rykiel's signature red hair across a crowded room.
