Introduction -- Yeast -- Sugar -- Fermentation -- Distillation -- Aging -- Smell and taste -- Body and brain -- Hangover -- Conclusion.

Humans have been perfecting the science of alcohol production for ten thousand years, but modern scientists are only just beginning to distill the complex reactions behind the perfect buzz. In a spirited tour across continents and cultures, Adam Rogers puts our alcoholic history under the microscope, from our ancestors' accidental discovery of fermented drinks to the cutting-edge laboratory research that proves why--or even if--people actually like the stuff. From fermentation to distillation to aging, Proof makes an unparalleled drinking companion.
