Garrett Peck is an author, public historian, and tour guide in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Garrett joins me to talk about his book "The Prohibition Hangover: Alcohol in America from Demon Rum to Cult Cabernet" in which he explores the often-contradictory social history of alcohol in America, from the end of Prohibition in 1933 to the twenty-first century. Based on primary research, including hundreds of interviews with those on all sides--clergy, bar and restaurant owners, public health advocates, citizen crusaders, industry representatives, and more--as well as secondary sources, The Prohibition Hangover provides a panoramic assessment of alcohol in American culture.
