Cocktails For The Space Age

On April 15th, we interviewed Frank Kelly Rich, editor of Modern Drunkard Magazine and author of the book by the same name. You can now listen that interview in its entirety, commercial-free here.

You might also want to check out the Modern Drunkard site as it has recently been updated with a slew of new features, including Soused Cinema--A survey of 10 of the best drinking films ever made:

The following chronologically-arranged list celebrates the best of 100 proof cinema, from Charlie Chaplin to Bad Santa. You'll notice the conspicuous absence of some of the most famous alcohol-themed flicks, such as The Lost Weekend, The Days of Wine and Roses, and Leaving Las Vegas. For the purposes of this list, I have avoided films that portray alcoholism in a persistently negative light. Drinking is fun, and so are the films that follow. I think you'll find that watching these films is nearly as fun as drinking itself. Of course, you'll probably enjoy them even more with a full tank.
