Gin and Tonics Across Worcester (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224963164)

One cocktail. One Man. Every damned bar in town.

There are a lot of bars in the City of Worcester, Massachusetts. David Macpherson took it upon himself to go to every watering hole and have a drink. Which drink? Why a gin and tonic, of course. He wrote about each of the 144 bars he went to from 2014 to 2015.

There were good gin and tonics and then there was the time he got a gin and Coca-Cola. He found lovely people all around the city. He was also ignored and threatened. David was not reviewing the bars, he was taking a tour of the landscape of drinking and socializing.

Why do people go to bars? Why do people pick one bar to be their and ignore all the others? Bar by bar, drink by drink, David attempts to find out the answer to those questions and so much more. It is a funny, witty descent into drinking through the city.
