"A handbook for polite--if not entirely legal--drinking [written] during the height of Prohibition, but the advice remains sound, the voice charming, and the cocktails strong"--Dust jacket back

As the authors say: Shake ‘Em Up is “for People Who Fling Parties, People Who Go to Parties . . . People Who Don’t Really Drink but Feel That a Cocktail or Two Enlivens Conversation—in short, for the American People,” and that’s as true today as it was upon the book’s original publication, “in the twelfth year of Volstead, 1930.” Virginia Elliott and Phil D. Stong created a handbook for polite—if not entirely legal—drinking during the height of Prohibition, but the advice remains sound, the voice charming, and the cocktails strong. Whether you’re looking for the proper way to mix a Brandy Punch, what you ought to serve alongside a Bijou Cocktail, or a dependable hangover cure, Shake ‘Em Up has you covered. Need advice on how to catch up with your already-inebriated guests, or guidance on what to do when said guests end up a little too inebriated? Here, too, Shake ‘Em Up will point you in the right direction. Looking for a step-by-step guide to making bathtub gin? Well, sadly, that page has been censored by the United States District Attorney for the Southern District of New York. An essential addition to the library of any cocktailians, entertainers, nostalgics, or those who just like to relax with a cold beverage, Shake ‘Em Up delivers all the joy of a Jazz-Age cocktail party, without the fear of temperance officers knocking down your door.

As a licensed social worker, Arnitia Walker has seen it all. She's met people from every walk of life-all trying to find their own way in this crazy world-but she's paid particular attention to the other sex. In Shake 'Em Up & They All Fall Out the Same Anitia offers up a humorous, tongue-in-cheek catalog of the various types of men she's known, including: Married - This guy is devoted to his wifey. He wears his wedding ring with pride. He has a true tan line on his ring finger because he never takes the darn ring off. He takes care of home, and his wife is his first priority. He would never dream of hurting her. Cheater - This guy couldn't be faithful if he was sitting in a church. He does not know the meaning of monogamy. To him, women are like a box of candy: soft, chewy, caramel, chocolate, smooth, fluffy, etc. He's just got to sample them all. He has to have a variety of women to meet all of his needs. Minute man - No, he's not the watch repairman. Need I say more? Filled with amusing descriptions of men, this book will shed new light on your past, current, and potential relationships. These men are your brothers, uncles, fathers, boyfriends, and husbands. As a woman, you've probably already encountered at least one man who's portrayed in this book-and if you haven't, hold on-he's probably just around the corner.
