On Booze

-First you take a drink,- F. Scott Fitzgerald once noted, -then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.- Fitzgerald wrote alcohol into almost every one of his stories. <i>On Booze</i> gathers debutantes and dandies, rowdy jazz musicians, lost children and ragtime riff-raff into a newly compiled collection taken from <i>The Crack-Up</i>, and other works. <i>On Booze</i> portrays -The Jazz Age- as Fitzgerald experienced it: roaring, rambunctious, and lush – with quite a hangover.
