In honor of teatotalers and abstainers everywhere, I post this link to NPR's interview with Michael Lerner, author of Dry Manhattan, a history of the dark impulses behind Prohibition in New York City. Turns out, it wasn't just a move against alcohol.And in the interest of balance, I'll point out two titles on our shelves: Eric Bogosian's Drinking in America and Curiosities of Wine : Clinking, Drinking and the Extras That Surround the Bottles.
