Last week marked the release of Camper English’s Doctors and Distillers: The Remarkable Medicinal History of Beer, Wine, Spirits, and Cocktails from Penguin Books (published simultaneously in the United Kingdom by HarperCollins as The Perfect Tonic). The book has received strong reviews from The New York Times, Scientific American, and Publishers Weekly, among others. English, the cocktails and spirits expert who runs the website Alcademics, was also prominently featured in an article in The Washington Post Magazine that described Doctors and Distillers as “a rollicking, quirky story of alcohol and medicine’s ‘inextricably intertwined history,’” while the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt from the book.
