There are countless how-to books on how to succeed in business; fewer in how to excel at drinking. This book is geared to an increasingly endangered archetype, the office lush. It comically (but not altogether fancifully) advises him on how to use every trick in his disposal to successfully hide his drinking from coworkers, and how to best manage the resulting hangovers. Includes frequent illustration.
“The Working-Lush-Executive’s telephone is a pronouncedly schizoid instrument. In the morning it is a shrill tyrant; in the afternoon it is a boon companion and a swell way to kill time.”
--Ralph Maloney
