An A-Z of Hellraisers: A Comprehensive Compendium of Outrageous Insobriety

This quirky and anecdote-driven A Z compendium celebrates the most outrageous, depraved, tortured and eccentric hellraisers the world has ever seen. It is the last word on boozy misbehaviour and the characters in this whopper of a book constitute the most amazing grouping to ever see print, from Peter the Great, famous for his debauched drinking orgies, to Benjamin Franklin who firmly believed that beer provided proof of God s existence, to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham who suffocated on his own vomit after consuming forty measures of vodka; what a night out that was! e salute these gloriously inebriated nutters from Winston Churchill to Sid Vicious, Van Gogh to Billie Holiday, Alfred the Great to Ozzy Osbourne, and thank God we didn t have to live next door to any of them.
